How to grill lemon chicken breast

This recipe for barbecued chicken breasts with lemon can be prepared in an outdoor grill or inside, on the stove, using a grill pan. This is how we make it:

Season the chicken breast -add them to a bowl and season with olive oil, garlic, parsley, lemon, and spices. Optionally marinate in the fridge for up to 24 hours or use immediately.
Grill the chicken breast outside using a grill or inside using a grill pan. Cook for about 6 - 8 minutes on each side, then transfer to a plate and leave them chill for a couple of minutes.
Slice the chicken breast and serve with a seasonal salad.

How to make sure that the chicken breast is perfectly cooked and tender?

Before removing the chicken breast from the grill, check the temperature of the chicken. A thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat should register 150°F (65°C). Set aside for 5 minutes. The cooking process will continue, the temperature of the chicken will rise, and the result will be juicy, tasty chicken breast.
