herby grilled chicken
this is one of my all time favorite things to grill and i copied the recipe from megan martinez‘s instagram food highlights so i thought it would be helpful to have it written out! (and because everyone asks on instagram when i post it!)
it’s a perfectly simple one bowl dinner entree, ideal for summer weeknights. you know i love my simple weeknight chicken recipes!!
you can use whatever herbs you like, i always just use whatever we have growing and mix it together. the medley always tastes good. i’ve also done it with skinless chicken breasts and with boneless skinless chicken thighs, both are great. but our family loves a chicken thigh so i usually opt for them.

- zest of 1 lemon
- juice of 1 lemon
- coarse salt + fresh ground pepper
Fresh Herbs
- italian flat leaf parsley

Instructions
- chop up all your fresh herbs. i use pretty much everything we have growing, i love the medley of everything mixed together, so use whatever you like!
- in a large bowl, mix your chicken with the herbs – i like them heavily coated, so you can always add more herbs if you need to.
- add olive oil, salt, pepper, lemon juice and lemon zest into the bowl and mix well.
- grill on one side until golden brown, flip and cook until internal temp reaches 165℉
Notes
if you want to make a big batch while you go through the trouble of grilling, the leftovers would also make for great lunches over a salad or grain!
btw megan has always been one of my favorites to follow – i love her style, her recipes and her annual vacations to the cape!
