Instructions
- Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tbsp chopped rosemary, 1 tbsp thyme leaves, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Place 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts in the marinade, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Step 2: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Remove chicken from marinade and grill for 6-7 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F and juices run clear.
- Step 3: While chicken grills, husk 4 ears fresh corn and place directly on the grill grates. Grill for 10 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes, until corn is evenly charred and kernels are tender.
- Step 4: Let grilled corn cool slightly, then cut kernels off the cob into a bowl. Add 2 tbsp fresh lime juice, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper, and 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion. Toss gently to combine.
- Step 5: Serve grilled chicken breasts alongside the charred corn salad for a vibrant, herbaceous meal perfect for summer gatherings.
