Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes until well combined.
- Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it's evenly coated. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring the grates are clean and well-oiled to prevent sticking.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the remaining marinade. Place the chicken breasts on the hot grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving and enjoy your gluten free dinner!
