How to Make Rosemary Grilled Chicken

  1. Place each chicken breast between two sheets of wax paper and gently pound to 1/2-inch thickness using a meat mallet.
  2. Place the flattened chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together lime zest, lime juice, rosemary, olive oil, sugar, minced garlic, and salt.
  4. Pour the marinade over the chicken in the bag. Seal the bag tightly, pressing out excess air.
  5. Marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 4 hours, turning the bag occasionally to ensure even coating.
  6. Preheat your grill to medium heat.
  7. Remove chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade.
  8. Season both sides of the chicken generously with freshly ground black pepper.
  9. Grill the chicken over medium heat for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear. Use a meat thermometer to ensure doneness.
  10. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
