Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless chicken breasts
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup basil leaves
Instructions
In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, sea salt, and black pepper.
Place the boneless chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Seal, then massage the marinade over the chicken to coat evenly. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2 hours.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, shaking off any excess, and place it on the hot grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), and the chicken is no longer pink in the center.
While the chicken is cooking, halve the cherry tomatoes and toss them with a tablespoon of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and chopped basil leaves.
Once the chicken is done, let it rest for a few minutes. Then slice each breast into thick strips.
Serve the grilled chicken topped with the marinated cherry tomatoes.
Garnish with additional basil leaves if desired and enjoy your paleo-friendly meal!
