Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breasts about 500 grams
  • The zest and juice of 2 lemons
  • 4 sprigs of fresh rosemary finely chopped (roughly 10 grams)
  • A generous splash of olive oil say about 3 tablespoons (45 milliliters)
  • 2 garlic cloves let’s mince those up (around 6 grams)
  • A dash of salt approximately 1 teaspoon (5 grams)
  • A pinch of black pepper about 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 grams)

Instructions

  • Give those chicken breasts a good wash and dry them up with some kitchen paper.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Get your grill all fiery and hot at a medium setting. Once it’s ready, lay your chicken down.
  • Each side will need about 10 minutes of love. Look out for that beautifully grilled color.
  • 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.

Notes

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