Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 teaspoons organic lime zest
2 tablespoons fresh oregano leaves
2 sprigs fresh rosemary leaves for garnish
3 large garlic cloves crushed and peeled
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
32 ounces boneless skinless chicken breast approximately 4 chicken breasts

Instructions

To prepare the marinade, add the olive oil, vinegar, lime juice and zest, oregano, rosemary, garlic, salt and black pepper to a large bowl and whisk to combine.
Add chicken breasts to a one-gallon sealable freezer bag and pour marinade mixture over top. Seal bag and turn to coat breasts thoroughly. Place the bag in the refrigerator to marinate for at least one hour or overnight if making ahead. Turn the bag a couple times to evenly distribute the marinade during this time.
When ready to make, start your outdoor grill and get it to a medium high heat. Remove chicken from the refrigerator and discard excess marinade. Grill the breasts, turning once, for 10-12 minutes total. Remove from heat and rest for 5 minutes before serving with your choice of sides. Enjoy!

Notes

We use this low-carb marinade to make grilled chicken breasts but you could easily use it on any kind of meat or seafood you plan to cook on the grill. Try in on steaks, salmon or even grilled bone-in pork chops.

Make this dish all year round by using a stove-top grill pan.
