Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon, finely chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the broiler on high and position the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, sea salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Step 3
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring each piece is well coated.
Step 4
Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 5 minutes to enhance the flavor.
Step 5
Line a broiler-safe baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup and place a wire rack on top of the sheet.
Step 6
Place the marinated chicken breasts on the wire rack, ensuring they are evenly spaced for proper cooking.
Step 7
Broil the chicken for about 10 minutes on one side or until the top is nicely charred.
Step 8
Carefully flip the chicken breasts and continue broiling for another 8-10 minutes or until fully cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 9
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
Step 10
Serve the broiled chicken immediately with your choice of paleo-friendly sides, such as roasted vegetables or a salad.
