Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
- 1 cup Dry white wine
- 1 cup Extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 whole Lemon (zested and juiced)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the white wine, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, rosemary, thyme, honey, salt, and black pepper to create 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 all pieces are evenly coated.
Step 3
Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to develop.
Step 4
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, and discard the remaining marinade.
Step 6
Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Adjust the cooking time as needed depending on the thickness of the chicken.
Step 7
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 8
Serve the grilled chicken with lemon wedges on the side for added brightness, and enjoy!
