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 4 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons rosemary, 1 ½ tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper until combined.
- Place the chicken breasts in a zippered storage bag with the marinade and massage to coat. Refrigerate for 1 hour or overnight.
- Prepare the grill for high heat, aiming for 400°F to 450°F and brush the grates clean.
- Place the marinated chicken breasts on the hot grill. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes with the lid closed until they release from the grates. Flip and cook for an additional 4 to 5 minutes until cooked through and the internal temperature hits 155°F.
- Transfer the chicken to a platter, cover loosely with foil, and let it rest for 5 minutes until the internal temperature rises to 165°F. Serve warm.
Notes
For added flavor, marinate the chicken overnight.
Ensure the grill is hot enough before placing the chicken to avoid sticking.
Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness.
