Lemon Grilled Chicken

ladylu11 · April 2012

1 lemon
2 tbsp olive oil
1 clove garlic
1 tbsp chopped parsley, plus extra for garnish
1/4 tsp dried thyme
1/4 tsp dried marjoram
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (about 6 oz each)

Use a peeler to remove strips of zest from half of the lemon, then cut into fine strips, set aside. Grate other side of lemon to make 1 tbsp lemon zest and squeeze the juice in a bowl.
combine all ingredients in a bowl and add the chicken making sure it is covered all over with the marinade. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes or longer.
Preheat griddle, grill, or broiler to medium heat. cook chicken until cooked through, brushing with marinade during cooking. sprinkle with reserved lemon strips and parsley.

This was easy and had lots of flavor. I had it with a baked potato and broccoli.
