Lemon and Herb Marinated Grilled Chicken

Juice and zest of 2 lemons
2 sprigs fresh rosemary, finely chopped
2 sprigs fresh sage, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, smashed and finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
Extra-virgin olive oil
4 chicken breasts, trimmed of excess fat
Kosher salt
Fresh cracked pepper

In a small bowl combine the lemon juice and zest, chopped herbs, garlic, crushed red pepper, and 1/2 cup of olive oil. Whisk to combine. Place the chicken breasts in a wide flat dish so they are in a single layer. Add the herb mixture. Massage the chicken to coat with the herb mixture. Cover and refrigerate overnight. 

Note: If doing a quick marinade, leave the chicken out of the fridge for up to 1 hour.

Preheat grill. Brush and oil the grill to clean.

Remove the chicken from the marinade and brush off any excess herbs and oil. Season the chicken generously with salt, pepper and drizzle with a little bit of fresh olive oil.

Grill the chicken for 10 to 15 minutes per side, or until no longer pink and juices run clear.

Enjoy!
