Instructions
Creating Mediterranean Sumac Chicken is straightforward. Follow these steps for a guaranteed success:
1. Prep the Chicken: Start by trimming any excess fat from the chicken breasts.
2. Make the Marinade: In a bowl, combine sumac, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. Marinate the Chicken: Place chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or dish and pour the marinade over. Ensure they’re well-coated. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for better flavor.
4. Preheat Your Grill or Oven: If grilling, preheat your grill to medium-high. For baking, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
5. Cook the Chicken: If grilling, place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). If baking, arrange the chicken on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes.
6. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for about 5 minutes to retain its juices.
7. Slice and Serve: Slice the chicken breasts and garnish with fresh parsley and lemon wedges.
