  • Total Time: 27 minutes
  • Yield: Makes approximately 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons fresh-squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons Spike Seasoning (or any all-purpose seasoning)
  • 2 teaspoons dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried sage
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Trim visible fat from chicken breasts and ensure even thickness.
  2. Score the chicken by cutting shallow slits across each breast to help the marinade penetrate.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, Spike Seasoning, dried basil, oregano, onion powder, sage, and black pepper.
  4. Place chicken in a Ziploc bag or container; pour marinade over the chicken and seal tightly. Marinate in the fridge for at least 5-6 hours or up to overnight.
  5. Preheat grill to medium-high heat and clean grates using non-stick spray.
  6. Drain excess marinade from chicken. Grill on one side for about 3-4 minutes until grill marks form; rotate for criss-cross marks.
  7. Flip chicken and cook an additional 4-6 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  8. Remove from grill and let rest before serving.
