Marinade and Chicken

Method

Cooking Instructions

1

Marinate the Chicken

In a bowl, combine lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts and ensure they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

2

Prepare the Tomato Topping

In another bowl, mix the diced Roma tomatoes, chopped basil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Allow it to sit for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld.

3

Grill the Chicken

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove chicken from the marinade and grill for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked (internal temperature reaches 165°F).

4

Serve

Once grilled, place the chicken on a serving platter and top with the marinated Roma tomato mixture. Serve immediately.
