Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tbsp honey
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Your Chicken: Ensure chicken breasts are thawed and trimmed of excess fat. Pat dry with paper towels.
- Mix Your Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Marinate Your Chicken: Place chicken in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least one hour (overnight is recommended).
- Preheat Your Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F/200°C) about 15-20 minutes before cooking.
- Grill or Bake: Remove chicken from marinade (discard leftover marinade). Grill each side for about 6-7 minutes until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).
- Serve and Enjoy: Transfer cooked chicken to plates and drizzle with any cooking juices for enhanced flavor. Serve with a side salad or grilled vegetables.
