Description
Garlic Parmesan Grilled Chicken is a flavorful and juicy dish that combines the rich taste of garlic and Parmesan cheese with perfectly grilled chicken.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, Italian herbs, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Add the chicken breasts to the bowl, ensuring they are evenly coated with the marinade. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess drip off.
- Place the chicken on the preheated grill and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- For a spicy kick, add 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
- Serve with a side of grilled vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
