Grilled Lavender Honey Breast of Chicken
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup white wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup grated lemon zest
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup lavender honey (made with YL Lavender essential oil, see below)*
- 1 tablespoon dried culinary lavender buds, finely ground in a spice grinder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
- 1teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 tablespoon cracked black pepper
- 8 boneless chicken breasts
Method:
Make the Lavender Honey by placing 1/4 cup honey in a small bowl and adding 1 drop YL Lavender essential oil. Tip: make sure not to add more than one drop – using a spoon, put one drop onto the spoon (just in case too much comes out) then add the one drop to your honey.
In a large bowl, mix the vinegar, lemon zest, lemon juice, oil, honey, lavender, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours.
Preheat a grill to medium. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place on the grill. Cook, turning the chicken every 5 minutes and brushing occasionally with marinade, for 15 minutes, or until no longer pink when tested with a sharp knife. Discard any remaining marinade. Serves 8.
