Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh sage leaves, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your broiler on high and position the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
Step 2
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and set aside.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, chopped sage, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Step 4
Brush the marinade generously over both sides of the chicken breasts and let them sit for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Step 5
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease it with cooking spray or a small amount of olive oil.
Step 6
Place the chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Step 7
Broil the chicken for 8-10 minutes per side, turning once, until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 8
While the chicken is broiling, mix the melted butter and lemon zest in a small bowl for added flavor.
Step 9
Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove it from the oven and immediately brush the tops with the lemon-butter mixture.
Step 10
Transfer the chicken to a serving platter, garnish with additional fresh sage leaves if desired, and serve warm with your favorite side dishes.
