Ingredients
Scale
- 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves
- 1 ½ tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 – 2 ¼ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil, rosemary, lemon juice, dijon mustard, worcestershire sauce, kosher salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
- Place the chicken breasts in a zippered storage bag, pour in the marinade, and massage to coat the chicken evenly. Refrigerate for 1 hour, or up to overnight for better flavor.
- Preheat the grill to high heat, aiming for a temperature between 400°F and 450°F. Clean the cooking grates as necessary, but do not oil them.
- Place the marinated chicken breasts on the hot grill, close the lid, and grill for 5 to 6 minutes or until they easily release from the grates. Flip and grill for another 4 to 5 minutes until cooked through, with an internal temperature of 155°F.
- Transfer the cooked chicken to a platter, cover loosely with foil, and let it rest for 5 minutes, allowing the internal temperature to rise to 165°F before serving.
Notes
Marinating the chicken overnight enhances the flavor profiles even more.
Ensure the grill is preheated adequately to get those perfect grill marks.
Use a meat thermometer to check the chicken’s internal temperature for safety.
