Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 200 grams Button mushrooms
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (optional, for basting)

Directions

Step 1

Clean and pat dry the chicken breasts. If the pieces are very thick, use a meat mallet to even them out for uniform cooking.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, thyme leaves, lemon juice, black pepper, and salt. Whisk everything until well blended.

Step 3

Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring that all the pieces are coated evenly. Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or ideally, overnight for more flavor.

Step 4

While the chicken marinates, clean the button mushrooms and slice them into thick pieces (or leave them whole if they are small). Set aside.

Step 5

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Remove the chicken from the marinade and let the excess drip off. Reserve the marinade and add the sliced mushrooms to the leftover liquid, ensuring they are coated evenly.

Step 7

Place the chicken breasts on the preheated grill. Cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the chicken, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

Step 8

While the chicken is grilling, thread the marinated mushrooms onto skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak them in water beforehand to prevent burning). Grill the mushrooms for about 4-5 minutes per side, until tender and slightly charred.

Step 9

Optional: Melt the unsalted butter and baste the chicken during the last 2-3 minutes of grilling for added richness.

Step 10

Once cooked, remove the chicken and mushroom skewers from the grill. Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before slicing to retain its juices.

Step 11

Serve the grilled chicken alongside the mushrooms. Garnish with additional thyme leaves if desired and pair with a side salad, rice, or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
