1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil, freshly squeezed lemon juice, minced garlic, finely chopped rosemary, thyme leaves, kosher salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes until fully emulsified.
2. Place the patted-dry chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated on all sides.
3. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat deeply.
4. Preheat an outdoor grill or grill pan to medium-high heat, aiming for a surface temperature of 400°F, and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
5. Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and discard the remaining marinade to avoid cross-contamination.

8. Transfer the grilled chicken to a clean cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute evenly throughout the meat.
9. Slice the chicken against the grain into ½-inch thick pieces for optimal tenderness and presentation.

Zucchini Noodles with Basil Pesto
Crisp, vibrant zucchini transforms into delicate ribbons that cradle a luxurious basil pesto in this elegant summer dish. Combining the freshness of garden herbs with the subtle sweetness of seasonal squash, this recipe offers a light yet satisfying alternative to traditional pasta. Each bite delivers a harmonious balance of nutty richness and bright, herbaceous notes that celebrate peak-season produce.
Ingredients
– 4 medium zucchini, spiralized into noodles
– 2 cups fresh basil leaves, packed
– 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
– 1/3 cup pine nuts, lightly toasted
– 2 garlic cloves, minced
– 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
– 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
– 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
– 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
1. Toast pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and fragrant, shaking the pan frequently to prevent burning.
2. Combine toasted pine nuts, fresh basil leaves, minced garlic, and grated Parmigiano-Reggiano in a food processor.
3. Pulse the mixture 5-6 times until coarsely chopped, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to ensure even processing.
4. With the food processor running on low speed, slowly drizzle in extra-virgin olive oil until the pesto emulsifies and reaches a smooth consistency.
5. Add freshly squeezed lemon juice, fine sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper to the pesto, then pulse 2-3 times to incorporate.
6. Spiralize zucchini into noodle-like ribbons using a spiralizer fitted with the medium blade attachment.
7. Place zucchini noodles in a large mixing bowl and toss gently with 3/4 of the prepared pesto sauce.
8. Let the dressed zucchini noodles rest at room temperature for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the noodles to soften slightly.
9. Divide the zucchini noodles among four serving plates and drizzle with the remaining pesto.
Tip: Toasting the pine nuts enhances their nutty flavor and adds depth to the pesto. Allowing the dressed noodles to rest briefly helps them absorb the pesto without becoming watery. Using freshly grated cheese rather than pre-shredded varieties ensures superior melting and flavor integration. The finished dish presents with a delightful al dente texture that holds the creamy pesto beautifully, while the bright lemon notes cut through the richness of the cheese and nuts. For an elegant presentation, garnish with additional basil leaves and shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano, or serve alongside grilled shrimp for added protein.
