I love this marinade for chicken. The chicken is so moist and delicious and works great for all sorts of applications. Easy and really good, that's the winning combination. If I can plan ahead of time then I do marinate the meat overnight, but I have also only done it for like an hour, so whatever works for you, just make it happen. oh and this marinade is for a lot of chicken - like up to 6 breasts worth (if you are using smaller breasts) If you use the huge chicken breasts, cut them in half lengthwise so they are thinner, that way the breasts will be better seasoned. Oh and please don't use lemon juice concentrate - fresh is best!! If you think squeezing the juice is a pain, order one of these -i swear I am not just trying to sell you something - IT WORKS!
Grilled Lemon Chicken
Serves 8 to 10
3/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
3/4 cup olive oil
2 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp freshly ground pepper
1 Tbs minced fresh thyme leaves (1/2 tsp dried)
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper and thyme. Pour over the chicken breasts in a nonreactive bowl. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 6 hours or overnight. Heat a grill and cook for 7-10 minutes on each side, until just cooked through. Cool slightly and cut diagonally in 1/2-inch thick slices.
