Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.25 cup basil leaves, chopped
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese, grated
Directions
Step 1
Start by preparing the marinade. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 2
Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish, and pour the marinade over them. Ensure that the chicken is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Step 3
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 4
Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and let any excess drain off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Step 5
Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for about 6 to 8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is nicely charred and cooked through.
Step 6
While the chicken is grilling, prepare the tomato topping. In a medium bowl, combine the halved cherry tomatoes, chopped basil leaves, and grated parmesan cheese. Toss gently to mix.
Step 7
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Step 8
Serve the grilled chicken breasts hot, topped with the fresh tomato and basil mixture. Enjoy your Keto Grilled Chicken with Tomatoes, garnished with extra basil or cheese if desired.
