Equipment

Ingredients

2 Tbsp olive oil
½ cup apple cider vinegar
2 Tbsp fresh lime juice
2 tsp lime zest
2 Tbsp fresh oregano leaves
2 sprigs fresh rosemary leaves
3 large garlic cloves crushed and peeled
1 tsp sea salt
½ tsp black pepper
4 8-oz/225g boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Instructions

To prepare the marinade, add the olive oil, vinegar, lime juice and zest, oregano, rosemary, garlic, salt, and black pepper to a large bowl and whisk to combine.
Add chicken breasts to a large (1-gallon/4.5-litre) sealable freezer bag and pour marinade mixture over top. Seal bag and turn to coat breasts thoroughly. Place the bag in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 1 hour to overnight. Turn the bag a couple times to evenly distribute the marinade during this time.
Remove the chicken from the refrigerator and discard excess marinade.
Grill the breasts over medium direct heat for 10-12 minutes, turning once.
Remove from heat and rest for 5 minutes before serving with your choice of sides. Enjoy!

Notes

Tip: For best results, crush the fresh herbs with your fingers to release their oils before adding them to the marinade.
