Print

Enjoy succulent bites of these charred, grilled chicken breasts, made flavorful by the bold marinade of lemon juice, thyme, and red pepper flakes!

Preparation: 15 minutes
Cooking: 20 minutes
Total: 35 minutes

Serves:

Ingredients

  • 1½tbsplemon juice
  • ¼tspdried thyme
  • ½tspdried red pepper flakes
  • 1garlic clove
  • ¼cupolive oil
  • ¼tspsalt
  • ¼tspfresh ground black pepper
  • 2¼lbschicken breasts,(about 4 chicken breasts), bone-in

Instructions

  1. Light the grill or heat the broiler.

  2. In a shallow dish, combine the lemon juice with thyme, red-pepper flakes, garlic, oil, salt, and black pepper. Coat the chicken with the mixture.

  3. Grill the chicken breasts over moderately high heat or broil them for 8 to 10 minutes. Turn and cook for about 10 minutes longer until the chicken is just done.

  4. Serve warm, and enjoy!

Recipe Notes

  • Try any preferred dried herb in place of the thyme. Marjoram, oregano, rosemary, or sage are all good choices.
  • Wine Recommendation: Red pepper can be difficult to pair with wine as it accentuates the bitterness of the alcohol. So, bypass high-alcohol wines and try an herbal, light-bodied sauvignon blanc from Collio
