Herb-infused Lemon Garlic Grilled Chicken

DifficultyBeginner

Here's the grilled chicken & mashed potatoes recipe that'll prove that basic ingredients can be made into a scrumptious meal bursting with flavor with the right seasoning!

Herb-infused garlic lemon grilled chicken strips, on a bed of smooth mashed potatoes and a side of fresh colourful greens is one pretty kick-ass way to make a basic wholesome meal epic! This is seriously one of my favourite simple chicken marinade recipes ever.. basic pantry ingredients that create such a joyful flavour party in your mouth! Healthy wholesome food can & should be fun and exciting and delicious.. and since grilled chicken gets the bad rep of being boring, here’s to prove otherwise 😉

This recipe is enough for around 500-600grams of chicken (around 2 full breasts, or any other chicken cut). All you have to do is mix the marinade ingredients together, and soak your chicken in that aromatic moisturizing bath for a minimum of 30mins or up-to overnight, covered in the fridge. Then grill them in the Airfyer, stove-top pan, oven, or weekend garden grill.. anyway you like!
