15 mins
Easy
This grilled lemon-herb chicken is simple, vibrant, and incredibly reliable. It combines fresh citrus and aromatic herbs to turn a basic protein into a meal you’ll want to make every single week.
This recipe focuses on high-quality ingredients and proper technique. You get juicy, tender chicken infused with lemon zest, garlic, and fresh rosemary in under 30 minutes. It is a lean, high-protein staple that pairs perfectly with roasted vegetables or a crisp garden salad.
To ensure even cooking, pound your chicken breasts to an even thickness before marinating. It prevents the thinner end from drying out before the thick center is cooked through.
