Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breast (boneless, skinless)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary leaves
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, combine the rosemary leaves, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Ensure all the chicken pieces are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
If grilling: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Place the marinated chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
If broiling: Preheat the broiler on high and place the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Arrange the chicken breasts on a broiler-safe pan and cook for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes after cooking to retain its juices. Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
