Grilled Lemon Herb Chicken

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Lemon Herb Chicken.

1. Step 1

   Start by grabbing a mixing bowl and combine fresh lemon juice, smooth olive oil, zesty Dijon mustard, minced garlic, vibrant chopped red bell pepper, a pinch of salt, and a dash of black pepper.

2. Step 2

   Stir everything together until you have a delicious marinade that’s bursting with flavor.

3. Step 3

   Remember to set aside a quarter cup of this marinade for basting later—it’s going to add an extra layer of taste to your chicken.

4. Step 4

   Now, add your chicken breasts to the bowl and give them a good stir, ensuring they’re completely coated in that flavorful mixture.

5. Step 5

   Cover the bowl and pop it in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes; this will allow the flavors to meld beautifully and infuse into the chicken.

6. Step 6

   While the chicken is soaking up all that goodness, preheat your outdoor grill to high heat.

7. Step 7

   To prevent sticking, lightly oil the grill grate—this little step makes a big difference! Once your chicken has marinated, take it out of the fridge and remove it from the marinade, giving it a gentle shake to get rid of any excess.

8. Step 8

   Discard the leftover marinade in the bowl; it’s done its job.

9. Step 9

   Now, place the chicken on the hot grill and let it cook for about 6 to 8 minutes on each side.

10. Step 10

    You’ll know it’s ready when the chicken is no longer pink in the center.

11. Step 11

    For an extra burst of flavor, use the reserved marinade to baste the chicken occasionally while it grills.

12. Step 12

    To ensure your chicken is perfectly cooked, check that it reaches an internal temperature of at least 165°F (74°C).

13. Step 13

    Enjoy the tantalizing aroma as it fills the air, and get ready for a delicious meal that’s sure to impress!.
