Rosemary Chicken Breasts – The Lemon Bowl®

Garlic and lemon make these rosemary chicken breasts tasty, but they also pack a load of protein in a low-calorie meal.

You can find me out at the grill as soon as the snow in Michigan melts, and I’ll stay there until the snow falls again! Grilling is a great way to cook your meals while saving on energy and keeping your kitchen clean. And this simple but delicious Rosemary Chicken Breasts is a great recipe to add to your rotation. Make extra chicken and use the leftovers on salads, wrapped in a pita with hummus, or for quick and easy taco night.

ingredients

• Chicken breasts: High in protein while low in calories, it’s a great meat option for a balanced diet.
• Lemon juice and zest: Adds bright, citrusy flavor that pairs well with the undertones of the rosemary.
• Garlic: Nutty, earthy, and robust in flavor, I’ll add garlic to almost anything.
• Olive oil: Helps to coat the chicken and marinate in the rest of the flavors.
• Rosemary: Aromatic with hints of evergreen, citrus, pepper, and sage.

How to Make Rosemary CHicken Breasts

Start your Rosemary Chicken Breasts by freshly chopping some rosemary sprigs.

Then in a small measuring cup or bowl, start your marinade by adding the lemon juice.

Then using a microplane, freshly grate your garlic into the marinade.

Add the chopped rosemary and some salt and pepper.

Then stir in the olive oil.

Next, in a large resealable bag, pour the marinade over your chicken breasts and let marinate for at least 30 minutes, but preferably overnight in the fridge.

Preheat your grill, and grill your chicken breasts over high heat for about 5 minutes per side.

Serve sliced or whole with fresh lemon slices as garnish, and enjoy your grilled Rosemary Chicken Breasts!
