Print Recipe

A kidney-friendly BBQ recipe that is bursting with flavor, using a special marinade to keep it low in potassium and phosphorus while maintaining juicy, tender chicken breasts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt (optional, or less)
  • 2 tablespoons water

Instructions

  1. Prepare the marinade: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, water, rosemary, thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt if using until slightly thick but pourable. (5 minutes)
  2. Marinate the chicken: Place chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour marinade over chicken, coat well, seal or cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes up to 2 hours. (30-120 minutes)
  3. Preheat the grill: Heat grill to medium-high (about 375°F). Lightly oil grates to prevent sticking. For charcoal, wait until coals have light ash coating. (10 minutes)
  4. Grill the chicken: Place marinated chicken on grill. Cook 6-7 minutes per side, flipping once. Use tongs to avoid piercing meat. Chicken is done at internal temperature of 165°F. (12-15 minutes)
  5. Rest and serve: Remove chicken from grill and let rest for 5 minutes to redistribute juices. Slice against the grain before serving. (5 minutes)

Notes

Use fresh herbs if possible; dried herbs can be substituted at half quantity. For lower sodium, omit salt and add smoked paprika or lemon zest. Marinate at least 30 minutes but no more than 4 hours to avoid mushiness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure perfect doneness. Control flare-ups by moving chicken to cooler grill areas and keep a spray bottle of water handy. Leftovers keep up to 3 days refrigerated and can be frozen for 2 months.
