Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 cup fresh basil leaves
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and ground black pepper.
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish, and pour the marinade over the chicken. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and massage the marinade into the chicken to ensure it is well coated. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for best flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
While the grill is heating, rinse and halve the cherry tomatoes. Set them aside.
Once the grill is ready, remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, and place the chicken breasts on the grill.
Grill the chicken for about 6 to 7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the juices run clear.
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
While the chicken rests, prepare the tomato topping by combining the halved cherry tomatoes with the fresh basil leaves in a small bowl.
To serve, slice the grilled chicken breasts and top with the fresh tomato and basil mixture.
Enjoy your Whole30 Grilled Chicken with Tomatoes as part of a healthy meal!
