In a bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped parsley, chopped basil, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper to create the marinade.
3
Pour the marinade over the chicken breasts in the plastic bag, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Seal the bag and massage it gently to distribute the marinade.

Refrigerate and marinate the chicken for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate.
5
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 350 to 400 degrees Fahrenheit), and lightly oil the grill grates.

Grill the marinated chicken breasts for about 7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit checked with a meat thermometer. Make sure to discard any leftover marinade.

Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving to retain its juices. Enjoy your drool-worthy Grilled Citrus Herb Chicken Breasts hot from the grill!
