Ingredients
- 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
- 3 tbsp. olive oil
- 1 lemon juiced, 1 additional to top (optional)
- 2 tbsp. chopped fresh basil
- 2 tbsp. chopped fresh oregano
- 1 tsp. chopped garlic
Instructions
- Preheat grill to medium-high.
- Make foil packet by laying a piece of foil on a flat surface and turning up the edges slightly to hold the ingredients in while prepping. Tear off a similarly sized piece of foil and set aside as the top of the packet. Repeat to create four packets.
- Combine the oil, juice of one lemon, basil, oregano and garlic in a bowl, and then toss in the chicken to coat. Place one chicken breast on each bottom piece of foil. For extra lemon flavor, add a lemon slice or two to the top of the chicken.
- Place the other piece of foil on top, and fold the edges tightly together to create a sealed packet. Repeat for all four packets.
- Place the packets onto the grate and grill with the lid closed until cooked through, about 12 minutes.
- Remove and let rest for a few minutes before opening – be careful of the steam – and serve!
