Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon, finely chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the broiler on high and position the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, sea salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring each piece is well coated.
Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 5 minutes to enhance the flavor.
Line a broiler-safe baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup and place a wire rack on top of the sheet.
Place the marinated chicken breasts on the wire rack, ensuring they are evenly spaced for proper cooking.
Broil the chicken for about 10 minutes on one side or until the top is nicely charred.
Carefully flip the chicken breasts and continue broiling for another 8-10 minutes or until fully cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve the broiled chicken immediately with your choice of paleo-friendly sides, such as roasted vegetables or a salad.
