Lemon Herb Chicken Breasts
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1 lemon, zested and juiced (about 1 tbsp zest and 2–3 tbsp juice)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp fresh oregano, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, minced
- 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt, plus more to taste
- 1/2 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
- 4 large chicken breasts, halved horizontally into cutlets
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon zest and juice, garlic, herbs, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken cutlets and turn thoroughly to coat.
- Grill or sauté the chicken over high heat for about 3–4 minutes on the first side, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until cooked through. Since the chicken has been cut so thinly, it should cook much faster than a big, thick chicken breast.
