Follow these simple steps to achieve the perfect Grilled Za’atar Chicken:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine za’atar, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir effectively until everything is well blended.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken breasts to the bowl and coat them evenly with the marinade. Cover and let marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
3. Preheat the Grill: Prepare your grill by preheating it to medium-high heat. Make sure the grates are clean for best results.
4. Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess fall off. Place the chicken on the grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until thoroughly cooked and juices run clear.
5. Check the Temperature: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
6. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
7. Slice and Serve: Cut the chicken into slices and garnish with freshly chopped parsley for added color and flavor.
8. Optional Considerations: Serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra zesty touch.

By following these focused steps, you’ll create grilled chicken bursting with Mediterranean flavors that will wow anyone who tries it.
