A juicy and flavorful grilled chicken dish with a zesty citrus kick! This dish is infused with the brightness of fresh lemon juice and the aromatic depth of rosemary and thyme. The chicken is marinated to perfection, soaking up the rich flavors before being grilled until perfectly charred and juicy. A drizzle of citrus glaze enhances the smoky, savory notes while adding a light, tangy sweetness. This recipe is perfect for an al fresco dinner, served alongside a crisp salad or roasted vegetables for a complete springtime meal.

🍋 Lemon Herb Grilled Chicken with Light Citrus Glaze

Ingredients:

  • 2 large chicken breasts (butterflied or pounded evenly)

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • Juice and zest of 1 lemon

  • 1 tbsp honey

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard

  • 1 tsp fresh thyme, chopped

  • 1 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped

  • ½ tsp salt

  • ¼ tsp black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Make the marinade: In a bowl, whisk olive oil, lemon juice & zest, honey, garlic, Dijon mustard, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.

  2. Place chicken in a ziplock bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours).

  3. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Oil the grates to prevent sticking.

  4. Grill chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through (internal temp: 165°F/75°C).

  5. Brush with extra lemon juice and a touch of honey before serving.

  6. Serve with grilled vegetables or a light spring salad.
