Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Breasts

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Marinade

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped herbs, salt, and pepper until well combined. This fragrant mixture will infuse the chicken with incredible flavor.
  2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a zip-top bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag or cover the dish, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
  3. Preheat the Grill: While the chicken marinates, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. This ensures a nice sear and prevents the chicken from sticking.
  4. Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard any remaining marinade. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  5. Rest and Serve: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after grilling to allow the juices to redistribute. Slice and serve as desired, enjoying the beautiful flavors of California Grilled Chicken.

Notes

  • Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Don’t skip the marinade to enhance flavor and tenderness.
  • Check the temperature to ensure the chicken is cooked through.
  • Let it rest to prevent dryness and keep the chicken moist.
  • Experiment with grilling methods if necessary.
