Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, Dijon mustard, chopped rosemary, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
Step 2
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated.
Step 3
Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for fuller flavor.
Step 4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off, and discard the remaining marinade.
Step 6
Place the chicken breasts on the preheated grill. Cook for about 8-10 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 7
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Step 8
Serve the grilled chicken with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad, and enjoy!
