Succulent grilled chicken marinated in a vibrant blend of lemon juice, garlic, and herbs. Naturally dairy-free and nut-free.
Ingredients
- 4 medium Chicken breasts
- 0.25 cup Lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.
Instructions
- 1In a bowl, whisk together the 0.25 cup lemon juice, 0.25 cup olive oil, 4 cloves garlic (minced), 0.25 cup fresh parsley (chopped), 0.25 cup fresh cilantro (chopped), 1 teaspoon cumin, 0.5 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon salt, and 0.5 teaspoon black pepper.
- 2Place the 4 medium chicken breasts in a zip-top bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken breasts, making sure they are completely covered. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or for up to 4 hours.
- 3Preheat your grill to medium heat. This is approximately 176.7°C to 204.4°C (175°C to 200°C).
- 4Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade. Place the chicken on the preheated grill. Grill for 6-8 minutes on each side. The chicken is cooked through when it is no longer pink in the center and the internal temperature reaches 74°C.
- 5Transfer the cooked chicken to a clean plate or cutting board. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the chicken moist.
