Instructions
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and, using the flat side of a meat mallet, pound thicker parts to an even thickness.
In a small bowl, whisk together 1/3 cup olive oil, lemon zest, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, dried thyme, crushed dried rosemary, and salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Put the chicken into a gallon-size resealable bag, pour in the olive oil mixture, press out excess air, seal the bag, and rub the marinade over the chicken so each piece is coated. Refrigerate 2 to 5 hours, rotating the bag and moving the chicken around halfway through if possible.
Preheat the grill to medium-high (about 425–450°F).
Brush the grill grates lightly with olive oil.
Remove the chicken from the bag, discard the marinade, and let excess marinade drip off.
Place the chicken on the preheated grill, close the lid, and grill about 4 minutes per side, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 160–165°F.
Transfer the chicken to a plate, let rest 5 minutes, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
