This recipe brings a delightful twist to grilled chicken by incorporating a zesty lemon herb marinade that enhances its flavor and tenderness.
In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, juice and zest of the lemon, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, chopped parsley, and ground black pepper.
Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best flavor.
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for maximum flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Ensure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, basting occasionally with the remaining marinade.
Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the chicken moist and flavorful.
