GRILLED CHICKEN BREASTS WITH HERBS AND LEMON

Grilled Chicken Breasts with Herbs and Lemon – this simple no-fail grilled chicken recipe can be enjoyed with any vegetable for an easy weeknight meal. Use up any left overs in a sandwich the next day!

I grill a lot. Mostly ribs, burgers, brats, shrimp, and chicken. Wait, I guess that covers most things!

I think everyone should have a good basic grilled chicken recipe in their arsenal. This one is mine.
Garlic, herbs, lemon. It’s honestly all you need to season most food, really! I recommend marinating for 4 hours, or even overnight for the best flavor, but just 1 hour is fine, if you’re in a pinch.

Save left overs the next day for chicken salad or sandwiches!
