Tuscan-Style Grilled Chicken with Firma Flavors Robust Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Description
A Taste of Tunisia
This Tuscan-style dish carries a Tunisian touch—olive oil as the heart of every meal. In Tunisia, our family often used freshly pressed olive oil from local groves to marinate meat before grilling over open coals. That same tradition lives on through Firma Flavors’ Smooth Extra Virgin Olive Oil, transforming everyday cooking into something rich, fragrant, and timeless.
Fun Serving Suggestions:
- Serve with roasted potatoes drizzled in Firma Flavors Garlic Olive Oil for a bold side.
- Add grilled vegetables brushed with Firma Flavors Rosemary Olive Oil for an earthy touch.
- Pair with a crisp salad or couscous tossed in Firma Flavors Lemon Olive Oil.
- Enjoy with chilled white wine or mint tea for a refreshing finish.
Ingredients (Serves 2–3):
Instructions:
-
Marinate the Chicken:
In a bowl, whisk together Firma Flavors Smooth Extra Virgin Olive Oil, lemon juice, chili flakes, garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat well. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator).
-
Preheat the Grill:
Preheat a grill, wok, or grill pan over a steady medium flame. Lightly brush the wok or grill surface with olive oil to prevent sticking.
-
Grill the Chicken:
Place the marinated chicken on the grill. Cook for about 5–6 minutes per side, or, if you prefer a slightly juicier result, until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) and the outside is beautifully charred.
-
Finish & Serve:
Remove from the heat and let rest for a few minutes to lock in the juices. Drizzle lightly with extra olive oil, and garnish with chopped parsley and lemon wedges.
