Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
- 1 cup Dry white wine
- 1 cup Extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 whole Lemon (zested and juiced)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the white wine, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, rosemary, thyme, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated.
Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to develop.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, and discard the remaining marinade.
Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Adjust the cooking time as needed depending on the thickness of the chicken.
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the grilled chicken with lemon wedges on the side for added brightness, and enjoy!
