Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the marinade: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, dried Italian herbs, salt, and pepper. This simple marinade infuses the chicken with robust flavor and keeps it juicy.
  2. Marinate the chicken breasts: Place the chicken breasts in the marinade and coat them well. Let them sit for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours in the fridge to soak up all those tasty flavors.
  3. Preheat the grill: Get your grill hot and ready, aiming for medium-high heat. This temperature ensures that the chicken cooks evenly and develops a lovely char.
  4. Apply Parmesan coating: Remove the chicken from the marinade and evenly sprinkle grated Parmesan on top. Press gently so the cheese sticks and forms a flavorful crust as it grills.
  5. Grill the chicken: Place the chicken breasts on the grill, Parmesan side up. Cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice golden crust.
  6. Rest and serve: Once off the grill, let your Garlic Parmesan grilled chicken rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh garlic for a bolder flavor.
  • Don’t skip resting the chicken after grilling to keep it juicy and tender.
  • Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking and preserve the Parmesan crust.
  • Pound chicken breasts to an even thickness to ensure even cooking.
  • Watch the Parmesan cheese closely during grilling to avoid burning.
