Equipment
- Outdoor or indoor grill
Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup white balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 3 clove garlic, mined
- 1 tsp dry oregano (fresh oregano for garnishing)
- 1½ tsp dry thyme (or 1 tsp fresh)
- 1 tsp Himalayan salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, white balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, thyme, salt and pepper.
- Add the chicken breasts to the marinade and turn the chicken breast over a couple times so the chicken breasts are coated well. Place in the refrigerator covered with saran wrap for a minimum of 3 hours, the longer the better as the chicken will tenderize and absorb the flavours.
- Remove chicken breasts from refrigerator and allow to sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before placing on hot grill.
- Heat the grill to 400℉ while the chicken is sitting at room temperature. Lightly grease or spray grill surface and add chicken. Grill approximately 8-10 minutes depending on the side of the chicken breast with the lid down and the surface is seared with brown markings. Turn chicken over and grill for another 8-10 minutes with lid down and until the internal temperature has reached 165℉.
- Once cooked, remove and allow to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Garnish with fresh herbs and a summer salad or vegetables.
