Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Start by preparing the marinade. In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Whisk everything together until well combined.
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap.
Marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours for the best flavor infusion. Turn the chicken occasionally to ensure even marination.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Once hot, oil the grill grates lightly to prevent the chicken from sticking.
Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Discard the marinade.
Place the chicken on the grill. Cook each side for about 6-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. This helps the juices redistribute throughout the meat, keeping it moist.
Serve the grilled chicken breasts hot, alongside your favorite Whole30 compliant sides such as steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
