Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts (approximately 1.5 pounds)
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese adds nutty flavor and texture
- ¼ cup olive oil provides moisture and richness
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped) for freshness and color
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice adds brightness
- 1 teaspoon salt enhances overall flavor
- ½ teaspoon black pepper adds mild heat
Instructions
Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, combine the minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, olive oil, chopped fresh parsley, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir well until all ingredients blend evenly.
- Place the chicken breasts in a large dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated.
- Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes; longer is preferable if time allows.
Cooking
- Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard any leftover marinade. Place the chicken on the grill with space between each piece.
- Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Once done, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Notes
Serve with grilled vegetables or a fresh salad. Can also be used in wraps or pasta for meal prep.
