Instructions
Prepare the Chicken and Grapes
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. In a bowl, combine the butter, olive oil, minced garlic, za'atar, sumac, rosemary, salt, cumin, pepper, and red chili flakes. Mix well. Rub the marinade all over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let marinate for 20-30 minutes.
Prepare the Grapes
- Rinse and dry the grapes thoroughly. In a separate bowl, toss the grapes with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and chopped mint.
Grill the Chicken and Grapes
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add a little extra olive oil to the pan. Once hot, carefully place the marinated chicken breasts in the skillet, ensuring they sizzle. Add lemon wedges and rosemary sprigs around the chicken. Surround the chicken with the prepared grapes, ensuring the pan juices and mint are incorporated.
Bake and Rest
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork. Remove from oven and let rest for 10-15 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra za'atar, lemon wedges, and rosemary sprigs. Serve the chicken with the grapes and pan juices.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken for longer (up to 2 hours).
- Ensure the chicken is completely dry before grilling to achieve a nice sear.
- Adjust the amount of chili flakes to your preferred spice level.
- Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
