  • 2 Tablespoons fresh oregano
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley
  • ¼ cup fresh basil

  2. Grill Chicken: Heat grill to 375 degrees Fahrenheit, cook chicken on each side for 4 minutes, then turn grill to low and continue cooking for 10-15 minutes until internal temperature reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit, then allow to rest.
