Recipe Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon dried basil
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 2 pounds skinless chicken breast

Preparation

  1. Combine all the ingredients except for the chicken into a medium-sized bowl. Stir until well combined.
  2. Place chicken breast in marinade in the refrigerator for at least 30minutes. The longer the chicken sits in marinade the more intense the flavor will be.
  3. When chicken is done marinating, preheat grill to medium heat.
  4. Remove each chicken breast from marinade and place on hot grill.
  5. Cook chicken 5-7 minutes on each side, or until 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
