Description
This herb-infused Tuscan grilled chicken is a quick and flavorful dish, perfect for weeknight dinners and meal prep with bright Mediterranean herbs.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 to 1¼ lb / 450–570 g total)
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (or avocado oil)
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped (or 2/3 teaspoon dried)
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves, chopped (or 2/3 teaspoon dried)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Vegetables or a crisp salad, for serving
Instructions
- Whisk together olive oil, chopped fresh rosemary, thyme, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to make the marinade.
- Coat the chicken breasts and marinate at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight for deeper flavor).
- Preheat the grill (or skillet/oven) to medium-high. Oil the grates or pan.
- Grill the chicken for 6–7 minutes per side (adjusting for thickness) until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Rest for 5–10 minutes, then slice and serve with your favorite sides.
Notes
For dried herbs, use about one-third the quantity of fresh. Chicken thighs can be substituted, or for a vegetarian version, use portobello caps or firm tofu.
