Instructions
Creating Easy Pomegranate Molasses Grilled Chicken is simple when you follow these steps:
1. Prepare Marinade: In a large bowl, combine the pomegranate molasses, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and lemon juice. Whisk until well combined.
2. Marinate Chicken: Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor).
3. Preheat Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F (200°C).
4. Grill Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the leftover marinade. Place the chicken on the grill, cooking for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
5. Rest Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, making the chicken more tender.
6. Garnish: Slice the chicken and arrange it on a serving plate. Sprinkle fresh pomegranate seeds and chopped parsley on top for added color and flavor.
7. Serve: Enjoy your Easy Pomegranate Molasses Grilled Chicken hot, perhaps alongside a refreshing salad or some grilled vegetables.
