Ingredients
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (180g each)
2 tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes (chopped)
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried thyme
1 lemon (juiced, ~2–3 tbsp)
3 garlic cloves (minced)
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
Fresh basil leaves (garnish)
1/4 cup parmesan cheese (grated)
Instructions
Preheat grill to 375°F (200°C)
Combine olive oil, sun-dried tomatoes, basil, oregano, thyme, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and black pepper in a bowl
Submerge chicken breasts in marinade; let rest for 15–30 minutes
Pat chicken dry, place on grill over high heat, and sear for 2–3 minutes per side
Move to indirect heat section; cook 5–7 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C)
Remove and let rest 5 minutes
In a small bowl, mix fresh basil and parmesan cheese
Serve chicken warm, topped with herb-cheese mixture
Notes
Substitute sun-dried tomatoes with roasted tomatoes for a milder flavor
Adjust herbs to use all fresh or a mix, if available
Swap olive oil with avocado oil or coconut oil for alternative richness
Let chicken rest post-grilling to enhance juiciness
Ensure parmesan uses halal-certified animal-free rennet or use dairy-free cheese
