Grilled Lemon Mint Chicken Breasts

These Grilled Lemon Mint Chicken Breasts are made with a simple marinade with ingredients you probably already have on hand. The Chicken is so tender, juicy, and 100% savory!

I don’t know about you, but I’ve been doing a lot of grilling at home lately. The weather is warming up fast and I just have preferred grilling over oven cooking most days.

I love grilling because you can cook most foods especially like chicken in way less time than it takes to cook it in the oven.

Plus you get those nice grill marks! 🙂

I have a small stand up garden bed that I started this year. I planted several herbs including mint, which is growing like crazy right now!

I seriously cannot keep up with how much mint is growing! So basically having an abundance of mint inspired this recipe!

I made a simple marinade with Mint, White Cooking Wine, EVOO, Lemon Zest, and Sea Salt.

You want to marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours. The longer you marinate, the more flavorful it will be.

Heat your grill to 450 degrees. Place chicken on the grill and cover for 8 minutes. Flip and cook 8 minutes more.

Place chicken on a platter and cover with aluminum foil for 10 minutes. This allows the chicken to cook further while keeping it tender and juicy inside.

Note: Cook time will vary depending on how thick your chicken breasts are. I use organic ones which typically are on the smaller side. Always cook chicken until the thickest part of the breast reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
