A flavorful, juicy grilled chicken recipe that fits Paleo, AIP, and Low-FODMAP diets, perfect for quick meals and special dietary needs.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs / 680 g), trimmed of excess fat
  • 1/4 cup olive oil (extra virgin, cold-pressed if possible)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (about 1 medium lemon)
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt (Celtic sea salt preferred)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1 teaspoon dried)
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • Optional: a pinch of pink Himalayan salt
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon pure maple syrup (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, sea salt, ground ginger, rosemary, thyme, turmeric powder, apple cider vinegar, and maple syrup (if using). This should take about 5 minutes.
  2. Marinate the chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or large resealable bag. Pour the marinade over them, ensuring each piece is fully coated. Seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, ideally 1 to 2 hours. If short on time, 20 minutes still works but flavors will be less intense.
  3. Preheat your grill: Get your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F / 200°C). If using a grill pan, heat it on the stove over medium-high heat and brush with a bit of oil to prevent sticking.
  4. Grill the chicken: Remove chicken from marinade, letting excess drip off. Place on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, depending on thickness. Flip only once to get grill marks. Use a meat thermometer to check for 165°F (74°C) internal temperature.
  5. Rest the chicken: Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a plate and cover loosely with foil. Let rest for 5 minutes to lock in juices.
  6. Serve: Slice or serve whole with your favorite paleo-friendly sides.

Notes

Do not over-marinate to avoid mushy texture; 1-2 hours max. Pat chicken dry before grilling to prevent flare-ups and get good sear marks. Use direct heat for searing and indirect heat to finish cooking. Rest chicken 5 minutes after grilling to keep it juicy. Double marinade and brush on chicken during last minute of grilling for extra flavor, but use fresh marinade to avoid contamination.
