Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole chicken breasts
- 0.25 cup coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 large garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
Begin by flattening the chicken breasts slightly. Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound it to an even thickness of about 1 inch.
In a shallow dish, combine coconut aminos, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Stir well to mix the marinade ingredients.
Place the chicken breasts in the marinade, making sure each piece is well coated. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, ideally 1-2 hours, to allow the flavors to infuse into the chicken.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Discard the used marinade.
Place the chicken chops on the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear.
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the Whole30 Savory Chicken Chops with a side of grilled vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
