Step 1: Prepare the Marinade
  1. I start by mixing olive oil, lemon juice, and all the seasonings in a bowl. This marinade is where all the flavor comes from.

Step 2: Marinate the Chicken
  1. I coat the chicken breasts well with the marinade. I let them rest for at least 10 minutes so the flavors soak in nicely.

Step 3: Preheat the Grill
  1. I heat my grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. A hot grill helps lock in the juices.

Step 4: Grill the Chicken

Notes

I love serving this grilled chicken with fresh coleslaw, corn on the cob, or a simple green salad.
