Here’s a simple recipe for Grilled Lemon Chicken:

Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 lemons (juice and zest)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, mix the lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Place the chicken breasts in the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and let it marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes (the longer, the better for flavor).
  2. Preheat the Grill: Heat the grill to medium-high heat.
  3. Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and has nice grill marks.
  4. Serve: Remove from the grill and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve with a side of vegetables or salad.
