Are you looking for a delicious and flavorful chicken dish that is easy to make? Look no further than grilled lemon and rosemary chicken. This dish is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The chicken is marinated in a mixture of lemon juice, olive oil, rosemary, garlic, and thyme, then grilled to perfection. The result is a juicy, tender chicken with a crispy skin and a burst of flavor. Serve with your favorite sides, such as roasted potatoes, grilled vegetables, or a fresh salad.
In this article, you'll find three variations of grilled lemon and rosemary chicken:
* **Classic Grilled Lemon and Rosemary Chicken:** This is the basic recipe that I mentioned above. It's simple to make and always a crowd-pleaser.
* **Grilled Lemon and Rosemary Chicken with Garlic Butter:** This variation adds a rich, garlicky flavor to the chicken. The garlic butter is brushed on the chicken while it's grilling, which helps to keep it moist and juicy.
* **Grilled Lemon and Rosemary Chicken with Feta Cheese:** This variation adds a tangy, salty flavor to the chicken. The feta cheese is crumbled and sprinkled on the chicken before it's grilled.
All three of these recipes are easy to make and absolutely delicious. So fire up your grill and give them a try!
