Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 lemons, juiced and zested
- 3 tablespoons of olive oil
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons of fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and black pepper.
- 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. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
- Preheat the grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the excess marinade.
- Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the juices run clear. Alternatively, you can bake the chicken in a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven for 25-30 minutes.
- Remove the chicken from the grill or oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- Garnish with additional fresh rosemary and lemon slices if desired. Serve and enjoy!
Lemon and Rosemary Chicken is a classic dish that originated in the Mediterranean region, known for its vibrant flavors and aromatic herbs. The combination of zesty lemon and earthy rosemary creates a tantalizing marinade for the chicken, infusing it with a burst of citrusy freshness and savory notes. Renowned chefs like Jamie Oliver and Ina Garten have popularized their own versions of this dish, incorporating their unique culinary twists. This delectable dish is often associated with Italian and Greek cuisines, where it is commonly served with roasted vegetables or a side of creamy risotto. For the best version of this dish, seek out restaurants that prioritize using fresh, high-quality ingredients and expertly grill or roast the chicken to perfection. The key to achieving the ideal flavor profile lies in the balance of tangy lemon, fragrant rosemary, and tender, juicy chicken. Whether prepared on the grill, in the oven, or on the stovetop, the key is to ensure that the chicken is infused with the bright flavors of lemon and the aromatic essence of rosemary. This dish is a delightful option for those seeking a light and flavorful meal, perfect for any occasion.
