Grilled, flattened chicken breasts are marinated in a combination of fresh lemon juice, rosemary, garlic, chili flakes and olive oil. Quick and full of flavor!

Chef's notes

Any leftover chicken will make delicious sandwiches. Place onto a crusty bun with some pesto mayonnaise (simply mix a bit of pesto with some prepared mayonnaise), crispy lettuce and sliced fresh tomatoes. You'll have one gourmet sandwich in an instant!

    This recipe shows how simple it is to marinade meat and add a tangy flavour. It also showed me that all you need are what is in the pantry, pick some rosemary off the bush out side and good to go. Next time I might go with some fresh chillies rather than the flakes.

    Used sambal oelek instead of pepper flakes. Lots of flavour!

    Wonderful, flavorful dish! I will be making again. I will also be expermenting with various herbs. Since one cuts the breasts in half horizonatly, they cook very quick. I used your Carrot and Onion Dish and my Parsley Red Potatoes to suprise my wife when she got home. She also loved it!

    Love this recipe. Is pretty much the same that I use. Is there any recipe's with real meats? Am not a Vegan, vegetarian or gluten free person. Which not knocking ones that are. I still love meat dishes.

    Can I substitute the Rosemary for Thyme? Any herbs other than rosemary that I could use?

    Hi Diana, yes, you can use rosemary, as well as any other favorite herbs you may have. Some ideas include parsley, sage, mint, and oregano.

    Fantastic marinade and SO easy! The marinade imparted great flavor! The chicken breasts I had were already on the thinner side, but I tried to half them anyway (against my instinct not to). In hindsight, I should have just pounded them thin as my attempt at cutting them in half resulted in (two) much too thin halfs and (two) useable halfs. I was nervous about grilling such thin breasts, but I followed the instructions and cooked them only for 2 minutes per side (and let them rest) and they were perfect and juicy! I served the breasts with roasted Yukon Gold potatoes (with rosemary) and steamed broccolini (tossed in a lemon vinaigrette). Wonderful dinner!

    Can I pan fry this? I'm very nervous and cautious as I always thought that you couldn't completely cook chicken on the stove top. How do I go about cooking chicken breast like this this on the stove regarding thickness and times.

    What's the optimum thickness so the chicken cooks though as I just want the most quick go to but not serve raww chicken

    Hi Riaz, check the doneness of the chicken with a thermometer. It should reach 165 degrees F or 74 degrees C. Or, pull out a sample, place it on a cutting board, cut through the thickest portion, and inspect the interior. Enjoy! ~Eric
