Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts – A lean protein that’s versatile and satisfying.
- 1 tbsp Shangrila Lemon Juice – Adds zesty acidity to the marinade, bringing out the chicken’s flavor.
- 3 tbsp olive oil – Provides a rich base for the marinade, helping the flavors meld together and keeping the chicken juicy.
- 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped – Offers an earthy, fragrant note that complements the lemon beautifully.
- Salt and pepper mix – Season to taste, balancing the acidity and herbaceous-ness.
Method
- Prepare the Marinade: Start by creating a simple, zesty marinade. In a small mixing bowl, add 1 tbsp of Shangrila lemon juice. Combine with 3 tablespoons of olive oil, which will enrich the marinade and help tenderize the chicken
- Add Fresh Herbs and Seasoning: Add 2 tablespoons of finely chopped rosemary to the marinade, followed by salt and pepper to taste. Stir everything together until the flavors are well combined.
- Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or a sealable bag, then pour the marinade over them. Ensure each piece is coated well. Let the chicken marinate for about 10-15 minutes to absorb the lemon-herb flavors.
- Cook to Golden Perfection: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken breasts, cooking each side for about 5-6 minutes. They should develop a beautiful golden crust and cook through to tender perfection.
Serve and Enjoy!
