Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped

1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

Zest of 1 lemon

Juice of 2 lemons

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Salt and pepper, to taste

Lemon slices, for garnish

Instructions

Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped parsley, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Mix well until it forms a chunky marinade.

Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a zip-top bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag or cover the dish, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours for more flavor).

Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat until it's hot.

Cook the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting the excess drip off. Place the chicken directly on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the juices run clear.

Rest and Slice: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes. This helps keep the chicken juicy. After resting, slice the chicken into strips.

Serve: Arrange the sliced chicken on a serving platter. Drizzle with any remaining marinade (optional) and garnish with fresh lemon slices and additional parsley if desired.
