Mediterranean Grilled Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs
These juicy 20-minute Mediterranean grilled boneless skinless chicken thighs are infused with rosemary, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt.
Servings: 6 people
- 2 lbs boneless chicken dark meat or white meat, see note 1
- 5 cloves garlic fresh
- 1 large lemon juiced
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary optional
- 1 sprig fresh oregano optional
Peel and mash the garlic using a mortar and pestle. You can also crush the garlic using a garlic press. Add the olive oil, chopped rosemary, chopped oregano, crushed garlic, lemon juice, and salt to a bowl. Mix well.
Pour the chicken marinade onto the boneless chicken. Mix well. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate for a minimum of 30 minutes.
Grill the chicken on a preheated grill for about 6 to 8 minutes per side until cooked through.
- Six servings of this marinade make enough to marinate 2 pounds of boneless skinless chicken or 3 to 4 pounds of bone-in skin-on chicken, like bone-in chicken thighs or a whole chicken.
- Choice of meat: use chicken tenders, chicken breast, butterflied chicken, whole chicken cut up into pieces, bone-in chicken thighs, or a whole chicken. This marinade also goes well with lamb.
- My favorite ways to cook chicken:
- Oven: My favorite way to cook bone-in chicken is a slow-roast in the oven. I normally do 2-2.5 hours at 325℉.
- Stovetop: Another quick and easy way to prepare boneless/skinless chicken is on the stovetop with a large frying pan. Heat olive oil in the pan, and pan sear the chicken on both sides for about 6 to 8 minutes until cooked through.
