Step 1

In a large ziploc bag, combine chicken, olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper.

Step 2

Seal the bag and shake it all up until well combined.

Step 3

Place bag in the refrigerator and marinate for about 4 hours or overnight.

Step 4

Preheat the grill to about 375F to 400F.

Step 5

Brush grill grates with olive oil.

Step 6

Remove chicken breasts from marinade and place them on the hot grill; cook without touching it until the chicken breasts start getting some grill marks, about 5 minutes.

Step 7

Turn the chicken breasts over, cover the grill, and let finish cooking, about 7 more minutes, depending on the thickness of the chicken. Chicken is done when a meat thermometer registers 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

Step 8

Remove chicken from grill; cover and let rest for 5 minutes before cutting.
