Description

This flavorful grilled chicken is marinated in a garlicky, herby olive oil blend, then finished with a shower of melted Parmesan and fresh parsley. It’s simple, packed with flavor, and perfect for summer grilling or easy meal prep.


Ingredients

For the Marinade:

  • 1/4 cup olive oil

  • 2 tbsp lemon juice

  • 1 tbsp honey (optional, for balance)

  • 4 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning

  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

For the Chicken:

  • 1 1/2 to 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs

  • More Parmesan for topping

  • Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish


Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken:
    In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, honey, garlic, seasonings, and Parmesan. Add chicken and toss to coat. Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes (up to 4 hours for max flavor).

  2. Preheat grill:
    Heat grill to medium-high. Oil grates lightly to prevent sticking.

  3. Grill the chicken:
    Remove chicken from marinade, letting excess drip off. Grill 5–7 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and juices run clear.

  4. Finish with cheese:
    In the last 1–2 minutes of grilling, sprinkle more Parmesan over the top to let it melt slightly.

  5. Serve:
    Remove from grill, rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley and extra cheese if desired.

 



Notes

  • Great with grilled veggies, pasta, or over a fresh salad.

  • No grill? Cook in a skillet or bake at 400°F for 20–25 minutes.

  • Use thighs for extra juicy chicken or breasts for a leaner option.
