Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your broiler to high. Position an oven rack about 6 inches from the broiler element.
- Zest the lemon using a zester or grater, then cut the lemon in half and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the rosemary, salt, garlic powder or minced garlic, and black pepper. Mix well.
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This helps ensure that the skin (if present) gets crispy during broiling.
- Squeeze the juice from the lemon halves over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are evenly coated. You can use your hands or a citrus squeezer to do this. Be sure to catch any seeds.
- Sprinkle the lemon zest over the chicken for an added burst of citrus flavor.
- Rub the seasoning mix onto both sides of each chicken breast. Make sure each piece is well-coated with the mixture.
- Place the seasoned chicken breasts on a broiling pan or a baking sheet with an oven rack. The rack allows the heat to circulate around the chicken, which helps cook it evenly.
- Place the pan in the oven under the preheated broiler.
- Broil the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is no longer pink in the center. The chicken should have a nice, slightly charred finish.
- Once the chicken breasts are cooked, carefully remove them from the oven.
- Let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes before serving. Resting helps the juices redistribute throughout the meat, keeping it moist and flavorful.
- Serve the broiled chicken breasts hot, garnished with a slice of lemon if desired. This dish pairs well with a side salad, roasted vegetables, or a light pasta dish.
Tips:
- For juicier chicken, allow the chicken breasts to marinate in the mix of rosemary, garlic, lemon, salt, and pepper for at least 30 minutes before broiling.
- For even cooking, make sure the chicken breasts are of the same thickness. You can pound them lightly to achieve a uniform thickness.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
- Add a splash of olive oil to the mix to keep the chicken moist during broiling.
- Serve the broiled chicken with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete and healthy meal.
There you have it! A delicious and aromatic dish that is both easy to make and sensational in flavor. This Rosemary and Garlic Broiled Chicken Breast recipe is sure to become a staple in your kitchen. Enjoy your meal and don't forget to share this delightful recipe with friends and family!
