This recipe features a simple yet flavorful marinade that transforms ordinary chicken into a delicious meal. The acid from the lemon helps tenderize the meat while the herbs infuse it with aromatic flavors. Follow these steps for perfectly grilled chicken every time.

For a variation, try this same marinade with chicken thighs or even pork tenderloin. If you don't have a grill, you can use a grill pan on the stove or bake the chicken in the oven at 425°F for about 20-25 minutes. The leftover chicken makes excellent sandwiches or salad toppers for lunch the next day.
