Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 cups fresh tomatoes
- 0.5 cup fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 cup red onion
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, black pepper, and dried oregano. Mix well to create the marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable bag or shallow dish, and pour the marinade over them. Ensure each piece is thoroughly coated. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 10 minutes.
While the chicken is marinating, dice the fresh tomatoes and chop the red onion finely. Chop the fresh basil leaves as well.
In a medium bowl, combine the tomatoes, red onion, basil, and balsamic vinegar. Toss gently to mix the flavors. Set aside as a fresh topping for the chicken.
Once the grill is ready, place the marinated chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the grilled chicken from the heat and let it rest for 3-5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve the grilled chicken with the fresh tomato and basil topping. Enjoy your meal!
