Creating Mediterranean Herb Crusted Grilled Chicken is simple if you follow these clear steps:

1. Prepare Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, chopped rosemary, thyme, parsley, minced garlic, lemon zest, salt, pepper, and paprika. Mix thoroughly.

2. Marinate Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

3. Preheat Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-450°F / 190-230°C).

4. Remove Chicken from Marinade: Take the marinated chicken out of the fridge and discard the excess marinade. Let it sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes while the grill heats.

5. Grill Chicken: Place the chicken breasts on the preheated grill. Grill for 6-7 minutes on one side without moving them to create beautiful grill marks.

6. Flip Chicken: Turn the chicken over and grill for an additional 6-7 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

7. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes to retain its juices.

8. Slice and Serve: Slice the chicken against the grain and arrange it on a serving platter.
