👶 Kid-Friendly🌶️ mild Spice

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional)
  • Lemon slices for grilling and garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper, and Dijon mustard (if using).

  2. 2

    Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.

  3. 3

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Make sure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.

  4. 4

    Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting excess drip off. Discard the marinade.

  5. 5

    Grill the chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on one side, then flip and grill for another 6-7 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  6. 6

    If using, add lemon slices to the grill during the last 3 minutes of cooking for charred flavor.

  7. 7

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

  8. 8

    Serve the grilled chicken with grilled lemon slices and garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy!
