Ingredients
  

For the Marinade
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • Salt and pepper to taste Salt and pepper to taste
  • Juice of 1 lemon Juice of 1 lemon
Main Ingredient
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, thyme, basil, salt, pepper, and lemon juice to create a zesty herb marinade.
  2. Place the chicken breasts in a large sealable bag or dish and pour the marinade over them.
  3. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.
Grilling
  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard any leftovers.
  3. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side until it’s cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  4. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Notes

For the best flavor, allow the chicken to marinate for at least 4 hours. Add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick or substitute lemon with lime juice for a twist. Store leftovers in the fridge for 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
