Description
A zesty Lemon Herb Grilled Chicken marinated for maximum flavor, served alongside fluffy couscous for a vibrant and nutritious meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh thyme, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup couscous
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
- Place the chicken breasts in the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for best results).
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- While the chicken is grilling, prepare couscous according to package instructions.
- Once cooked, fluff the couscous with a fork and serve with the grilled chicken, garnished with fresh lemon wedges.
- Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil before serving.
Notes
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes after grilling to retain juices. Consider serving with sautéed seasonal vegetables or a green salad.
