Instructions
Creating Grilled Za’atar Chicken is straightforward and rewarding. Follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, combine the Za’atar spice mix, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a large zip-lock bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish.
3. Marinate: Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for more intense flavor.
4. Preheat Grill: While the chicken is marinating, preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F).
5. Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Place the chicken breasts on the grill.
6. Cook: Grill the chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
7. Remove and Rest: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
8. Slice and Serve: Slice the chicken against the grain to maximize tenderness and flavor.
Following these simple steps will result in perfectly cooked Grilled Za’atar Chicken that you can’t wait to dig into!
