This is a new spin on grilled chicken. I love the flavor a lemon lends to chicken and you can never go wrong with garlic.
1 lemon
2 tbsp. olive oil
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 tbsp fresh parsley, plus extra sprigs for garnish
1/4 tsp. dried thyme
1/4 tsp. dried marjoram
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
Use a peeler to remove strips of zest from half of the lemon then trim the fine strips with a small knife and reserve. Grate the other side of the lemon to make 1 tbsp. zest. Finally, squeeze the juice from the lemon into a bowl.
In a large bowl, combine the lemon zest and juice, oil, garlic, parsley, thyme, marjoram, salt and pepper. Add the chicken breasts to the bowl and spoon the marinade over the chicken until well coated. Cover with plastic wrap. Chill for 30 minutes or overnight if you have time.
Preheat the grill. Cook chicken breasts until cooked through; 10 minutes or less on each side; depending on the how hot the grill is. I have found over the years that your grilled chicken is done when it isn't wobbly to the touch anymore. Sprinkle with reserved lemon strips and serve immediately garnished with parsley.
