Ingredients
- 2 chicken breast 300 gms
- 1 tsp rosemary dried or fresh
- 1/2 tsp black pepper powder
- 1/2 tsp red chilli powder/paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt as per taste
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp crushed garlic
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 cup onion for caramelising
Instructions
- In a small bowl mix all the ingredients for marination: Rosemary, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika (red chilli powder), black pepper powder, 1tbsp olive oil, and salt.
- Take 2 whole chicken breasts in a bowl. Gently tap the pieces with a tissue (paper towel) to remove excess water.
- Rub the prepared marinade on the chicken breasts thoroughly. Set this aside for at least 30 minutes. For best results, you can prepare this a day before you plan to grill the chicken. Marinate and keep the chicken in the fridge.
- Heat a grill pan or large cast iron skillet and add some olive oil. When the oil is hot place the chicken pieces and cook on each side for 5-10 minutes on medium high heat.
- Carefully flip the chicken and cook for 5-10 minutes more.
- Remove the chicken pieces on a serving tray.
Optional Step
- In the same pan add 1 onion sliced thinly. The onions will absorb the left over juices and fat from the chicken breasts.
- When the onions are caramelized serve the onions with the grilled chicken. Garnish with any herb of choice, preferably chopped parsley or coriander.
Notes
- Enjoy the grilled rosemary garlic chicken with mashed potatoes or some vegetables on the side.
- The cooking time may vary depending on the size and thickness of the chicken breasts.
- Caramelizing the onions is optional but it adds a lot of flavor and texture to the grilled chicken.
- This recipe can be made with chicken thighs or chicken wings too.
