Title: Grilled Lemon Herb Chicken
Ingredients:
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Lemon wedges and fresh herbs for garnish
Instructions:
1. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. This marinade will infuse the chicken with a burst of fresh flavors.
2. Place the chicken breast halves in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
3. Preheat your George Foreman Indoor Grill according to the manufacturer’s instructions. If you have a temperature control, set it to medium-high heat.
4. Once the grill is hot and ready, remove the chicken from the marinade and discard any excess marinade. Place the chicken breast halves on the grill, making sure to leave space between each piece for even cooking.
5. Close the grill lid and cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts, so it’s always best to check for doneness using a meat thermometer.
6. Once the chicken is cooked through and has beautiful grill marks, transfer it to a serving platter. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing or serving whole.
7. Garnish your Grilled Lemon Herb Chicken with fresh lemon wedges and a sprinkle of chopped herbs for a vibrant finish. This dish pairs beautifully with a side of roasted vegetables, a crisp green salad, or some fluffy couscous.
8. Enjoy your flavorful and juicy Grilled Lemon Herb Chicken straight off the grill. The zesty combination of lemon and herbs will have your taste buds dancing with delight. This recipe is perfect for those days when you want a fuss-free yet impressive meal that’s bursting with fresh flavors.
Feel free to customize this recipe by adding your favorite herbs or spices to the marinade. You can also double the recipe if you’re feeding a crowd or looking to have leftovers for meal prepping.
