Ingredients

  • 2 medium chicken breast fillets

For the Marinade

  • 30ml extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce (optional)
  • 1 lemon (juiced)
  • 2 teaspoon garlic (chopped)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh oregano (chopped)
  • 2 teaspoon fresh rosemary (chopped)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (chopped)
  • 2 teaspoon fresh sage (chopped)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh parsley (chopped)
  • ½ teaspoon salt (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¾ teaspoon onion granules
  • ½ teaspoon paprika

Instructions

  • Wash and dry the chicken breasts with paper towels then discard the paper towels. In a bowl mix together all the ingredients for the marinade. Add the chicken to the marinade and mix to ensure the marinade coats the chicken. You can also place the chicken and marinade in a zip lock bag. Place the chicken in the marinade in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
  • Preheat the grill to a medium to high heat and grill the chicken breasts for 14 minutes (7 minutes each side). Ensure the juices run clear with no pink. If there are any pink juices running from the chicken, continue to grill until the juices run clear. Once cooked through, remove from the grill and allow to sit at room temperature for 5 – 10 minutes before slicing. Time to enjoy.
