Lemon Garlic Chicken Breast



 This is a great, simple recipe with explosive flavor.  Serve the chicken as a whole breast, sliced, or prior to marinading you can cube the chicken for skewers.  Versatile and delicious!

Lemon Garlic Chicken Breast


2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
3/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 5-6 lemons)
1 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 Tbsp minced fresh thyme
4 garlic cloves, minced
salt and pepper.

Whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, thyme, garlic, salt and pepper.

Place the chicken in a large zip lock bag and pour the marinade over the chicken in the bag.  Seal the bag being sure to get out as much air as possible.  Shake the chicken around in the bag to coat the chicken with the marinade.  Refrigerate 5-6 hours or overnight.

Preheat grill to medium-high heat.  Grill the chicken breasts approximately 8-10 minutes per side until cooked through.  Serve warm.
