Garlic Herb Chicken
A mouthwatering dish featuring juicy chicken infused with the rich flavors of garlic and fresh herbs, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
For the Marinade
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 lemon, juiced and zested
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
For the Chicken
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Instructions
Preparation
- In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, chopped rosemary, thyme, parsley, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring that each piece is well coated.
- Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
Cooking
- Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat. If using a grill, grease the grates lightly to prevent sticking. For oven roasting, line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting excess marinade drip off. Discard the leftover marinade.
- Grill the chicken for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). If baking, place the chicken in the oven and cook for 20-25 minutes.
- Once done, allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
