Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, parsley, basil, garlic, salt, pepper, and oregano until well combined.

  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  4. Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Discard the marinade.
  5. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  6. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
