Ingredients

For the marinade

4 cloves garlic, minced adds aromatic flavor
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese provides umami richness
¼ cup olive oil adds moisture and richness
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped for freshness and color
1 tablespoon lemon juice adds brightness
1 teaspoon salt enhances flavor
½ teaspoon black pepper adds a bit of warmth

For the chicken

4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts lean protein

Instructions

Preparation

In a mixing bowl, combine the minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, olive oil, fresh parsley, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the bowl with the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated.
Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Cooking

Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat.
Once hot, take the marinated chicken breasts out of the refrigerator and place them on the grill.
Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on one side.
Carefully flip the chicken breasts over using tongs and cook for an additional 6-7 minutes on the other side.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Notes

For best results, fully coat the chicken in the marinade and let it rest after grilling. Use a meat thermometer to ensure it is cooked to a safe temperature and marinate longer if possible.
