Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill (finely chopped)
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 teaspoons Cracked black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound them with a meat mallet to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch.
In a large bowl, whisk together the chopped dill, minced garlic, cracked black pepper, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, smoked paprika, and honey.
Place the chicken breasts into the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and allow any excess to drip off. Place the chicken onto the preheated grill.
Grill the chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes to retain its juices.
Serve the grilled chicken warm, optionally with a dollop of plain Greek yogurt and an extra sprinkle of fresh dill as garnish.
