Ingredients

60 ml freshly squeezed lemon juice
3 large cloves garlic, finely grated
30 ml canola oil
30 ml chopped fresh rosemary
12.5 g kosher salt
10 g freshly ground black pepper
10 g Dijon mustard
2 (280 g) skinless, boneless chicken breasts
lemon wedges for serving

Directions

Step 1
Prepare the marinade by mixing lemon juice, garlic, oil, rosemary, salt, pepper, and mustard together in a bowl until well combined.
Step 2
Using a fork, pierce each chicken breast all over 8 to 10 times to allow the marinade to penetrate.
Step 3
Add the chicken breasts to the bowl with the marinade and toss to coat completely, using your hands to gently massage the mixture into each chicken breast. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Step 4
Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
Step 5
Place the marinated chicken breasts on the oiled grates and grill, covered, until they are lightly charred, no longer pink in the center, and the juices run clear, approximately 10 to 12 minutes per side. Use an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center, which should read 74 degrees C.
Step 6
Transfer the grilled chicken breasts to a serving platter and serve with lemon wedges.
