Grilled chicken with a lemon herb marinade has a rich history dating back to ancient Mediterranean civilizations. The combination of zesty lemon and aromatic herbs like rosemary, thyme, and oregano has been a staple in Mediterranean cuisine for centuries. Renowned chefs like Jamie Oliver and Ina Garten have popularized this dish, infusing it with their own unique twists. Today, the best versions of this dish can be found in the coastal regions of Italy and Greece, where the use of fresh, locally sourced ingredients elevates the flavors to new heights. The key to perfecting this dish lies in marinating the chicken for at least a few hours to allow the flavors to fully infuse the meat, resulting in a tender and flavorful grilled chicken that is sure to impress.
