Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, sea salt, and black pepper. Stir well to make the marinade.
Step 2
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or a large ziplock bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover the dish or seal the bag, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours for more flavor.
Step 3
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are evenly distributed and covered in white ash.
Step 4
Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Discard the marinade.
Step 5
Place chicken breasts on the grill. Cover and grill for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast reads 165°F (75°C).
Step 6
Remove the grilled chicken from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
Step 7
Serve the chicken breasts hot with your favorite Paleo sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
