Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, Dijon mustard, chopped rosemary, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated.
Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for fuller flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off, and discard the remaining marinade.
Place the chicken breasts on the preheated grill. Cook for about 8-10 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve the grilled chicken with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad, and enjoy!
