Equipment

Grill (gas or charcoal) or Grill pan
Meat thermometer
mixing bowl
Whisk
Gallon-size zip-top bag
Tongs
Cutting board
Knife

Ingredients

2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 cloves garlic minced
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary minced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Place chicken breasts in a gallon-size zip-top bag.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
Pour the marinade into the bag with the chicken. Seal and massage to coat evenly.
Refrigerate and marinate for up to 24 hours for best flavor.
Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
Remove chicken from marinade and discard excess marinade.
Grill chicken for 6–8 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Remove from grill and let rest for 10–15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Marinating overnight gives the best flavor, but even 2–4 hours will work.
Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking.
Letting the chicken rest keeps it juicy.
