Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 teaspoons garlic powder
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
salt and pepper to taste
4 sprigs fresh rosemary
4 thick slices bacon

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.

An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Stay near the grill to combat any flare ups from the bacon. Remove the toothpicks before serving.

GRILLED ROSEMARY CHICKEN

This moist, tender chicken has a touch of rosemary flavor. It's so easy to throw together, which makes it a great weeknight dish.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: For the best results, use a whole chicken or bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts or thighs. This will help keep the chicken moist and flavorful.
  • Prepare the chicken: Rinse the chicken and pat it dry with paper towels. If you're using a whole chicken, remove the giblets and excess fat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, or your favorite seasoning blend.
  • Make the rosemary bacon butter: In a small skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set aside. Add the butter, rosemary, and garlic to the skillet and cook until the butter is melted and the rosemary is fragrant. Stir in the bacon and set aside.
  • Grill the chicken: Preheat your grill to medium heat. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through. Baste the chicken with the rosemary bacon butter every few minutes to keep it moist.
  • Let the chicken rest: Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken.

Conclusion:

Grilled chicken with rosemary and bacon is a delicious and easy-to-make weeknight meal. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and succulent dish that the whole family will love. Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as roasted potatoes, grilled vegetables, or a simple salad.
