Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Orange zest
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Orange juice
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Rub the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season them evenly with salt and black pepper.
Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Transfer to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes.
While the chicken is grilling, prepare the orange gremolata. Finely mince the garlic cloves and place them in a small bowl.
Add the orange zest, lemon zest, chopped parsley, orange juice, lemon juice, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the bowl. Mix well to combine.
Taste the gremolata and adjust the seasoning if needed by adding a pinch of salt or more juice for additional flavor.
To serve, spoon the orange gremolata over the grilled chicken breasts. Garnish with additional parsley or zest, if desired.
Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes such as roasted vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
