Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, cilantro, parsley, lime juice, garlic salt, and Cajun seasoning. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Add the chicken breasts to the bowl and toss to ensure they are thoroughly coated in the marinade. (2 minutes)

03

Step

Cover the bowl and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to fully penetrate the chicken. (2 hours or overnight)

04

Step

Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate to prevent sticking. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Grill the chicken breasts on the preheated grill for 10 to 15 minutes, or until they are no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear. Baste the chicken with the remaining marinade as it cooks to keep it moist and flavorful. (10-15 minutes)

06

Step

An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken breast should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) to ensure it is fully cooked. (1 minute)

07

Step

Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in even more tender and flavorful chicken.

For best results, use fresh, high-quality ingredients.
Don't overcook the chicken, as it will become dry.
Serve with grilled corn on the cob, a fresh salad, or your favorite sides.
