Method
- Pound thickest part of the chicken breast into uniform thickness aiming for 3/4 inch thick and if very large, cut into uniform sizes roughly 5-6 ounces each.
- Mix marinade ingredients together in a small bowl. Set aside 2 tablespoons (for garnish). Place chicken and marinade in a bowl, baking dish or large zip lock bag and massage to coat all sides well. Marinate for 30 minutes, a few hours, overnight or even a few days.
- Preheat grill to medium-high. Lift chicken breasts out of the bowl, letting most of the oil drip off -before carefully placing it on the grill. Cut the zested lemons in half, placing open sides down on the grill too. Feel free to add any veggies to the grill.
- Close the grill lid and cook for 5-6 minutes (or until deep golden grill marks appear) before flipping. Cook the other side for another 5-7 minutes until the thickest part of the breast registers at 160F.
- Let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Place the grilled chicken on a serving platter, squeeze generously with the grilled lemon, and tuck in fresh herbs for garnish. Spoon the reserved 2 tablespoons marinade over the chicken, and serve!
Notes
Pair this with a salad, grilled veggies, or meal prep it for the coming week.
