Savory Tuscan Grilled Chicken is an incredible ultimate recipe that delivers great flavor in a short time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: cherry tomatoes and zucchini for grilling

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and pepper.
  2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it’s well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are evenly heated.
  4. Prepare Optional Vegetables: If using cherry tomatoes and zucchini, wash and cut them into appropriate sizes for grilling. Toss them in a little olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  5. Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting excess marinade drip off. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  6. Grill the Vegetables: If using, add the cherry tomatoes and zucchini to the grill during the last few minutes of cooking the chicken. Grill until tender and slightly charred.
  7. Rest the Chicken: Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes.
  8. Slice and Serve: Slice the chicken against the grain and serve it with the grilled vegetables, if desired.

Notes

  • Adjust seasoning according to your taste.
  • For best results, marinate the chicken for longer.
  • Consider using a meat thermometer to check internal temperature.
