Grilled Chicken Breasts with Lemon-Thyme Sauce
A lemon-thyme sauce for grilled chicken is the star of this simple recipe.
Ingredients:
- 8 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (each about 8 ounces)
- ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
- ¾ teaspoon sugar
- ½ teaspoon red-pepper flakes (optional)
- ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for grill
- kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Directions:
- Place chicken breasts between two layers of plastic wrap and lightly pound them to an even thickness (about 1/2 inch). Let stand at room temperature about 30 minutes.
- While chicken rests, whisk together lemon juice, thyme, sugar, red-pepper flakes, oil, and 2 teaspoons salt.
- Season both sides of chicken with salt and pepper.
- Prepare grill for direct-heat cooking; let grates get very hot (this ensures a good sear without drying out meat).
- Oil grates and cook chicken, turning occasionally, until charred in places and cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes total.
- Transfer to a serving dish. Pour or spoon sauce over pieces while still warm; serve.
