This Whole30 chicken recipe features tender chicken breasts marinated in a zesty lemon and herb mixture. It's a flavorful, healthy dish that fits...

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • Juice of 2 lemons
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
  2. Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish, then pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it's well coated.
  3. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
  4. Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly grease the grill or skillet with olive oil.
  5. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the leftover marinade. Cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  6. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  7. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your Whole30 chicken recipe with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
