Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
- 0.5 cup dry sherry
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 4 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the dry sherry, olive oil, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped rosemary, paprika, black pepper, and salt to create the marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the chicken is fully coated.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight for maximum flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and allow any excess marinade to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Place the chicken breasts on the preheated grill and cook for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (measured with a meat thermometer).
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the Sherry Grilled Chicken with your favorite side dishes such as roasted vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad. Enjoy!
