Grilled chicken thighs (or chicken breasts) with a richly flavorful and bright, garlic and herb marinade! It's a super simple recipe that packs a pleasant flavor punch.

📝 Ingredients

  • 2 lbs. boneless skinless chicken thighs* ((6 pieces, trim visible fat))
  • 6 Tbsp olive oil
  • 3 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 Tbsp minced fresh oregano
  • 1 Tbsp minced fresh rosemary
  • 2 tsp minced fresh thyme
  • 1 Tbsp minced garlic
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, (to taste)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1In a medium mixing bowl whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, basil, parsley, oregano, rosemary, thyme, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste (I use a scant 1 tsp salt and pepper, not included in nutrition estimate).
  2. 2Place chicken in a gallon size resealable bag. Pour marinade mixture over chicken. Seal bag while pressing out excess air.
  3. 3Rub marinade over chicken while turning pieces to coat with herbs and garlic until it's evenly distributed.
  4. 4Transfer to refrigerator and let marinate 1 - 8 hours.
  5. 5Preheat a gas grill over medium-high heat to about 425 degrees.
  6. 6Grill chicken until center registers 165 degrees in thickest portion, about 5 minutes per side.
  7. 7Let rest a few minutes before serving. Garnish with more fresh basil and parsley if desired.
