Instructions
Creating Toskanische Hähnchenbrust is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is evenly coated. Seal or cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
3. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill or grilling pan over medium-high heat.
4. Prepare the Vegetables: While the chicken is marinating, wash and chop your seasonal vegetables into bite-sized pieces.
5. Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
6. Cook the Vegetables: In a separate pan, toss the chopped vegetables with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Sauté over medium heat until tender and slightly charred, about 8-10 minutes.
7. Rest the Chicken: Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
8. Slice and Plate: Slice the chicken and arrange it on a serving platter with the sautéed vegetables.
9. Garnish: Finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for color and an extra burst of flavor.
These straightforward steps will guide you in creating a perfect Toskanische Hähnchenbrust that’s both flavorful and visually appealing.
