Time has just slipped by this week and I almost forgot to post this week's recipe! Again, since it's a holiday weekend, I wanted to share this early so we can all enjoy the long weekend.
I really love this recipe because of the fresh lemon and herbs. It's amazing how much more flavor these ingredients give to the chicken, and it's totally worth the time.
The chicken can marinate for as little as 30 minutes, which fits my needs for a quick dinner perfectly. You can pair just about any vegetable, grilled or otherwise, with the chicken.
If you haven't already decided on a Fourth of July menu, I would highly recommend this because it means less time cooking and more time with loved ones.
I hope you all have a great weekend and a very Happy Fourth of July!
Grilled Lemon-Rosemary Chicken (Serves 4)
1 lemon, zested
Juice from the lemon
2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced OR 2 tsp. bottled minced garlic
2 sprigs fresh rosemary (about 1 Tbsp.), roughly chopped
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1. Combine the first 7 ingredients in a gallon-sized plastic bag.
2. Place chicken breasts in the bag; seal and move the chicken around so the marinade coats it well.
3. Marinade for 30 minutes, but no more than an hour.
4. Preheat your grill to medium. Take the chicken from the bag, discarding the marinade. Grill the chicken about 6 minutes each side.
