Tonight's dinner will be both delicious and nutritious with this simple yet flavorful grilled chicken breast!

1

Start by marinating the chicken breasts. In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, the juice of 1 lemon, minced garlic from 2 cloves, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix well.

2

Place the chicken breasts into the marinade, coating them evenly. Let them marinate for 15 minutes at room temperature to absorb the flavors.

3

While the chicken is marinating, heat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes.

4

Once heated, place the marinated chicken breasts directly onto the grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes on one side.

5

Flip the chicken and grill for an additional 6-7 minutes on the other side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

6

Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This helps maintain moisture.

7

For the garnish, chop the parsley and sprinkle it over the grilled chicken before serving.
