Herb Marinated Grilled Chicken Makes a Healthy Flavorful Meal

May 19, 2020 Filed Under: Main Courses with Meat

Herb Marinated Grilled Chicken is a simple, healthy and flavorful dinner. Pair with Orzo Pasta Salad for a fabulously easy meal.

My oregano and rosemary plants are both out of control right now and I want to use as much as I can before I just have to fill the composter with the prunings. Besides using in marinades like this recipe, other ways I plan to use them:

  • dehydrate for use in spice and herb mixes (info in this post)
  • made chimichurri (South American green sauce)
  • shish kebabs on rosemary skewers (pull of the leaves and use in the marinade then stick the meat on the sticks)
  • infused oil or vinegar
  • sugar scrubs (like this lavender rosemary scrub)

The key to grilling boneless chicken perfectly is to pound it to an even thickness with a kitchen mallet or rolling pin. Thighs are usually fairly even, but chicken breasts are thicker in the middle. A few quick whacks and you not only release some aggression, the chicken will be done in the middle and still juicy on the ends after grilling.

Ingredients
  

  • 4-6 boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs about 2 pounds total weight
  • ½ cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoon fresh lime or lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoon lime or lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoon fresh oregano rinsed and crushed with fingers to release oils
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary rinsed and crushed with fingers to release oils
  • 3 garlic cloves peeled and crushed
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • With a kitchen mallet, or rolling pin, pound chicken to an even thickness.
  • Add the marinade ingredients to a 1-gallon zip to lock freezer bag, seal and shake to mix. Add chicken, reseal and turn to coat chicken thoroughly.
  • Place the bag in a bowl and set in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. Turn the bag a few times to ensure even marinating.
  • Remove chicken from the refrigerator and discard marinade. Grill breasts over medium direct heat, turning once, for 10 – 15 minutes total. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
