Steps
Step 1: Seasoning chicken
Put chicken breasts in a large bowl—season with salt, black pepper, garlic, and thyme. Add the juice of 1 lemon and mix well. Cover and leave it for 15-20 minutes at room temperature.
Step 2: Refrigerate
Mix olive oil and mint leave with the chicken. Now, cover and keep the bowl inside the refrigerator for 1 hour. Next, remove the chicken from the fridge. Now, it’s time to prepare your grill. If you don’t want to put the chicken in the refrigerator, you can place them on a rimmed baking sheet and let it sit for an hour at room temperature.
Step 3: Prepare your grill
Light your grill and leave it for some time to build a fire. However, if you have a gas grill, it’s better to use it in medium heat. Once your grill is ready, brush chicken breasts with olive oil and place them on the grill.
Step 4: Grill them until they cooked through
Grill the chicken breasts properly. Turn them every 3 to 5 minutes until the underside of the chicken turns brown or cooked through. It will only take 15 minutes to grill the chicken thoroughly.
Step 5: Garnish and serve
Transfer the grilled chicken to a plate, now garnish them with light oil, lemon juice, and mint leaves and serve hot.
