Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, sea salt, and black pepper. Stir well to make the marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or a large ziplock bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover the dish or seal the bag, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours for more flavor.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are evenly distributed and covered in white ash.
Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Discard the marinade.
Place chicken breasts on the grill. Cover and grill for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast reads 165°F (75°C).
Remove the grilled chicken from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
Serve the chicken breasts hot with your favorite Paleo sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
