Lemon Chicken
Lemon Chicken
Ingredients:
1½ pounds chicken, boneless, skinless breasts
2 large lemons
1 head roasted garlic
1 tablespoon olive oil
pinch kosher salt
pinch white pepper
1 tablespoon fresh basil
Rinse and dry the lemons and zest them onto a piece of wax paper.
Then cut them in half and squeeze them into a measuring cup, removing the seeds.
The two lemons give about 3 tablespoons of juice.
Add the zest, garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper, and basil and stir.
On a large piece of wax paper place 4 rinsed pieces of chicken breast halves.
Cover with another large piece of wax paper and using the flat side of the mallet, pound the chicken pieces to an even thickness.
Place the chicken into a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade in.
Move the chicken pieces around to coat well and then seal the bag.
Place the bag into a large bowl and refrigerate for about half an hour.
Pre-heat the gas grill and then place the chicken on the grill, discarding the marinade.
After a few minutes, turn with tongs and continue to cook until the chicken is just cooked through.
The total cooking time is 6-8 minutes, depending on the size of the piece of flattened chicken.
