Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts in a bowl or resealable gallon sized bag.
- In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the olive oil, brown sugar, soy sauce, lemon zest, parsley, thyme, salt, pepper and garlic.
- Pour the marinade over the chicken. Marinate for at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours.
- Heat an outdoor grill or indoor grill pan to medium. Add the chicken in a single layer.
- Cook for 6-8 minutes per side, or until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken registers 165 degrees F.
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with additional parsley for garnish, then slice and serve.
Notes
- Choose chicken breasts that are all about the same size and shape so that they'll cook evenly.
- I stay away from the overly thick chicken breasts because they take a lot longer to cook.
- It's best to cook this chicken over medium heat, as you don't want the exterior to burn before the inside is cooked all the way through.
