Lemon Garlic Herb Rubbed Chicken

Even though you may not have fresh herbs growing in your garden, this is a great recipe to use up those little packages of oh-my-gosh-how-can-this-tiny-plant-cost-so-much-money herbs you can buy at the store.

I sometimes buy herbs for a recipe and hate to let the rest of the package go bad.

Lemon-Garlic Herb Rubbed Chicken

•1 1/2 tsp finely pressed garlic
•1 large or 2 small lemons, zested,juiced
•1/3-1/2 cup minced fresh herbs, preferably a combo of basil, rosemary,oregano
•1 tsp kosher salt
•1/4 tsp black pepper
•5-7 tsp extra virgin olive oil
•1 1/2-2lb bone&skinless chicken breast

Mix up a bunch of minced garlic, your finely minced herbs a little salt and pepper, and the zest and juice from one large lemon (or a couple of smaller ones). Then mix in some olive oil just until it’s sort of a loose paste/thick sauce.

You can use this on a lot of things. Marinating chicken, obviously. But it’s also great on fish, pork, or rubbed on vegetables or grilled corn on the cob before cooking.

In this case, just toss it in a zip top bag with some chicken breasts.

Rub the chicken all over with the herb mixture and let it sit for 20 minutes or so.

You can get away with as little as 15, but for the best flavor you’ll want 20-30.

That’s about the time it will take to set the table, prepare side dishes. so it works out well.

*can be grill or use pan!

Just put a small spoonful of the herb mixture in with a bag of veggies and then drizzle a little more olive oil in there.

It’s also yummy with grilled veggies on skewers.

It makes a super quick and easy meal that’s really versatile to change up depending on what herbs and meats you have on hand.

Hope this one becomes a go-to at your house as well!

Enjoy it!
