Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 pieces Apples, thinly sliced (preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Honey
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Step 2
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated. Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
Step 3
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Step 4
While the grill is heating, prepare the apples. In a mixing bowl, toss the thinly sliced apples with cinnamon and honey until evenly coated.
Step 5
Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the preheated grill. Grill each side for 6-8 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 6
During the last 5 minutes of cooking, place the apple slices on the grill. Cook each side for 2-3 minutes, until they are soft and slightly caramelized.
Step 7
Remove the chicken and apples from the grill and transfer them to a serving plate.
Step 8
Garnish with additional rosemary sprigs if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
