Grilled Chicken Fillet with Lemon and Herbs

Ingredients:

• 4 chicken fillets
• 2 lemons
• 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• Salt and pepper to taste

Supplies:

• herQs Pin Pro
• Grill (charcoal or gas grill)
• Pliers

Preparation

Instructions:

1. Squeeze the juice of 1 lemon into a bowl. Add the minced garlic, olive oil, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt and pepper. Mix well to make a marinade.
2. Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Make sure all the chicken breasts are well covered with the marinade. Let the chicken breasts marinate for at least 30 minutes, but preferably a few hours (or even overnight) in the refrigerator for a more intense flavor.
3. Light the grill and preheat it to direct medium heat (approximately 180-200°C).
4. While the grill is heating, thinly slice the remaining lemon.
5. Remove the marinated chicken fillets from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature while the grill continues to heat.
6. Attach the herQs Pin Pro to one of the chicken fillets. Place the pin in the thickest part of the chicken, making sure the point of the pin does not touch the bone. Set the desired core temperature on the herQs Pin Pro (for example 75°C for perfectly cooked chicken).
7. Place the chicken breasts directly over the heat source on the grill and place a few slices of lemon on each chicken breast. Close the lid of the grill.
8. Grill the chicken breasts for about 8-10 minutes per side, or until the desired core temperature is reached. Turn the chicken breasts halfway through the grilling time for even grilling.
9. Once the chicken fillets have reached the desired core temperature, remove them from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
10. Serve the grilled chicken breasts with the lemon slices on top for extra flavor and decoration. The lemon juice provides a fresh and juicy flavor. You can serve the chicken breasts with a side dish of your choice, such as grilled vegetables, salad, or potatoes.

With the herQs Pin Pro you can accurately check the core temperature of the chicken and ensure that it is perfectly cooked and juicy. Remember to always follow the safety guidelines for using a thermometer and to ensure good hygiene during food preparation. Enjoy your grilled chicken fillets!
