Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 pieces Apples, thinly sliced (preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Honey
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated. Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
While the grill is heating, prepare the apples. In a mixing bowl, toss the thinly sliced apples with cinnamon and honey until evenly coated.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the preheated grill. Grill each side for 6-8 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
During the last 5 minutes of cooking, place the apple slices on the grill. Cook each side for 2-3 minutes, until they are soft and slightly caramelized.
Remove the chicken and apples from the grill and transfer them to a serving plate.
Garnish with additional rosemary sprigs if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
