A flavorful and juicy grilled chicken recipe with a zesty lemon herb marinade.
Combine the olive oil, juice of the lemon, minced garlic, lemon-pepper seasoning, and chopped parsley in a resealable plastic bag.
Squeeze the lemon juice directly into the bag to save on cleanup.
Add the chicken breasts to the bag, seal it, and turn to coat the chicken evenly with the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
For deeper flavor, let the chicken marinate overnight.
Preheat the grill to medium heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Use a paper towel dipped in oil and tongs to grease the grates safely.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Avoid pressing down on the chicken while grilling to retain its juices.
Serve the grilled chicken hot, garnished with additional chopped parsley if desired.
Pair with a side of grilled vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
