• 1/4 cup Zest Harmony Infused Olive Oil Blend
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon orange zest
• 2 cloves garlic minced
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika
• Cooking spray or a little additional olive oil for the grill

Equipment

• 1 Mixing bowl for the marinade
• 1 whisk to blend the marinade
• 1 Grill or grill pan preheated to medium-high
• 1 Meat thermometer to check doneness
• 1 Tongs for turning the chicken

Method

 

Instructions

1. 1. Place the chicken breasts between sheets of parchment or plastic wrap and pound lightly to an even thickness.
2. 2. In a bowl, whisk together the Zest Harmony Infused Olive Oil Blend, lemon juice, orange zest, garlic, parsley, oregano, salt, pepper, and paprika.
3. 3. Add the chicken to the bowl or a zip-top bag and turn to coat well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.
4. 4. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates or surface.
5. 5. Grill the chicken for 5 to 7 minutes per side, or until the outside is lightly charred and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
6. 6. Transfer the chicken to a plate and rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
7. 7. Serve warm with your favorite sides and spoon any collected juices over the top for extra flavor.

Notes

For the cleanest grill marks, avoid moving the chicken too soon after it hits the grill. If using chicken thighs, cook until they reach a safe internal temperature and slice after resting. Keep the citrus zest fresh for the brightest flavor.

Recipe Tips

Keep the chicken in an even layer of marinade so every piece picks up the citrus-herb flavor. Let the grill preheat fully before cooking for a clean sear and those classic grill marks.

Serving Suggestions

Serve this chicken with grilled vegetables, rice pilaf, a crisp green salad, or warm pita for an easy dinner that still feels lively and complete.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently so the chicken stays tender and juicy.

Variations

Try the same marinade on boneless thighs, shrimp, or tofu. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little extra kick.
