Instructions
Creating Mediterranean Herb Crusted Grilled Chicken is simple when you follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, thyme, rosemary, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
2. Marinate Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is well-coated. Seal or cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Preheat Grill: Heat the grill to medium-high temperature, about 375°F (190°C).
4. Remove Chicken: Take the chicken out of the marinade and let any excess drip off. Discard the marinade.
5. Grill Chicken: Place the chicken on the preheated grill. Close the lid and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
6. Let Rest: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes. This helps the juices redistribute for a moist result.
7. Garnish: If desired, sprinkle fresh parsley over the top for added color and flavor.
8. Serve: Serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra zing.
By following these steps, you’ll have an incredible Mediterranean Herb Crusted Grilled Chicken that will impress your family and guests.
