Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1/4 cup chopped parsley, 1/4 cup chopped dill, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  2. Step 2: Place 4 chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the herb marinade over them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is fully cooked.
  4. Step 4: While the chicken rests, prepare the herb sauce by whisking 1/2 cup herb sauce with a splash of lemon juice. Serve the chicken with the sauce drizzled over the top.
