Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, cilantro, parsley, lime juice, garlic salt, and Cajun seasoning. (5 minutes)
02
StepAdd the chicken breasts to the bowl and toss to ensure they are thoroughly coated in the marinade. (2 minutes)
03
StepCover 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
StepPreheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate to prevent sticking. (5 minutes)
05
StepGrill 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
StepAn 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
StepRemove 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.
