These grilled rosemary chicken breasts are a perfect combination of juicy chicken with a fragrant rosemary herb seasoning. The smoky flavor from the grill adds an extra dimension to this simple yet flavorful dish. It's perfect for a summer barbecue or a quick weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • Extra rosemary sprigs for garnish

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, mix together the chopped rosemary, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper, and lemon juice to create a marinade.
  2. Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and massage the marinade into the chicken. Let it marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and discard the remaining marinade.
  4. Grill the chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and have nice grill marks.
  5. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with extra rosemary sprigs and serve hot.
  6. Enjoy your flavorful grilled rosemary chicken breasts!
