Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 lemon, cut into wedges (for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- In a small bowl, combine olive oil, oregano, thyme, rosemary, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Place chicken breasts in a bowl or resealable bag. Pour the herb mixture over the chicken and toss to coat evenly. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
- Grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear.
- Remove chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- Serve with lemon wedges.
Notes
- This chicken is great for meal prep. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Serve with a side of quinoa, a Greek salad, or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
- For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the herb mixture.
