There is something truly special about the combination of bright lemon and earthy rosemary. This grilled chicken turns out tender and juicy every single time, making it a reliable favorite in my kitchen when I want something healthy but full of flavor.

It is so versatile that I often make a double batch. You can eat it straight off the grill, or chop it up to add into your favorite lunchtime salads, warm grain bowls, or hearty sandwiches.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a medium bowl or a zip top bag, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, chopped rosemary, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.

  2. 2

    Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, making sure each piece is well coated.

  3. 3

    Place the chicken in the refrigerator and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for the best flavor.

  4. 4

    Preheat your outdoor grill or indoor grill pan to medium high heat.

  5. 5

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the hot grill.

  6. 6

    Cook for about 6 to 8 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

  7. 7

    Remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest on a plate for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. If you are serving this for dinner, it pairs beautifully with roasted potatoes or a fresh garden salad.
