For best results, marinate the chicken for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to fully penetrate. Ensure the grill is properly preheated to achieve those beautiful char marks and even cooking. If you don't have fresh rosemary, 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary can be substituted. Serve with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete and balanced meal.

Follow The Directions
01
StepGather all ingredients.
02
StepIn a medium bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, grated garlic, canola oil, chopped fresh rosemary, kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, and Dijon mustard until well combined. (2 minutes)
03
StepUsing a fork, gently prick each chicken breast 8 to 10 times to help the marinade penetrate. (3 minutes)
04
StepPlace the chicken breasts in the bowl with the lemon juice mixture, ensuring they are fully coated. Use your hands to gently massage the marinade into the chicken. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for a more intense flavor. (5 minutes)
05
StepPreheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat (about 375-450°F or 190-230°C) and lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking. (5 minutes)
06
StepPlace the marinated chicken breasts on the preheated and oiled grill grates. Grill, covered, for approximately 10-12 minutes per side, or until the chicken is lightly charred, no longer pink in the center, and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken should read 165°F (74°C). (25 minutes)
07
StepTransfer the grilled chicken breasts to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh lemon wedges and serve immediately.
