Grilled Chicken


I loved grilled chicken because it stays so juicy.  I found this recipe online and it didn't disappoint.  Easy marinade with on hand ingredients, quick grill time, and it was delicious.  I'll definitely use this recipe again.

Grilled Chicken

Ingredients:
Up to 4 skinless boneless chicken breasts
6 tablespoons olive oil
4 large garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
~ 1-2 teaspoons lemon zest (1 lemon)

 Directions:
Using a meat mallet, pound chicken to even ~1/2" thickness.  If thicker, grill time will be longer.

In a gallon-sized ziplock bag, combine the remaining ingredients.  Add the chicken to the bag and massage the marinade into the chicken.  Seal bag, place in bowl, and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.

Grill chicken over medium-high heat for 3 minutes per side until meat thermometer reads 165ยบ F  (Ours were a little thicker and required ~5-6 minutes per side).  Transfer to a platter and serve.
