Description
A flavorful and simple dish combining succulent chicken with the bright notes of lemon and fresh dill, perfect for cozy dinners.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Juice of 2 lemons
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 3 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried dill)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- Lemon slices for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, chopped dill, salt, pepper, and minced garlic.
- Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Cook the Chicken: Preheat your grill or skillet over medium heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing the excess to drip off. Grill or pan-sear the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side.
- Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with extra dill and lemon slices before serving.
Notes
Allowing the chicken to marinate enhances the flavor significantly. Use a meat thermometer to ensure your chicken is fully cooked.
