Let’s Get Cooking: Lemon and Rosemary Grilled Chicken Steps

1. Give those chicken breasts a good wash and dry them up with some kitchen paper.
2. Grab a bowl and mix together olive oil, lemon juice, that aromatic garlic, our star – rosemary, a bit of salt, and a sprinkle of pepper.
3. Dip your chicken into this mix. Make sure every inch is soaked in flavor. If you can, let it sit for at least 30 minutes.
4. Get your grill all fiery and hot at a medium setting. Once it’s ready, lay your chicken down.
5. Each side will need about 10 minutes of love. Look out for that beautifully grilled color.
6. Once you’re satisfied with your grilling art, take the chicken off and give it a 5-minute breather. Trust me, it’ll be juicier this way.

Little Nuggets of Wisdom

1. If you can let your chicken marinate overnight, you’re in for an explosive flavor treat.
2. Not sure if it’s cooked right? The chicken’s inside should hit a 165°F or 74°C mark.
3. If you fancy even grilling, flatten the chicken a bit with a meat hammer.

Now, How Do You Plate It?

• Fresh salads are your best bet. Think greens, maybe some cherry tomatoes and cucumbers.
• Got some veggies lying around? Grill ’em up! Maybe bell peppers or even zucchini.
• And if you’re feeling the carb love – a side of quinoa or brown rice with a dash of rosemary and lemon zest is perfection.
