Grilled Lemon Pepper Chicken
I like to have a few staple seasonings on hand so I can make a delicious chicken breast whenever I need. One of my favorite go-to chicken recipes is this Grilled Lemon Pepper Chicken. Citrus and rosemary pair so well together for a hearty, savory, and slightly sweet dish.

Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breast ~ 3 small breasts
- ½ small lemon
- 1 tbsp dried rosemary
- ½ tbsp lemon pepper
Instructions
- Remove the chicken from its container and trim any excess fat off. Run pieces under lukewarm water.
- Take 2 large sheets of saran wrap and layer them on a cutting board or countertop and place chicken breasts on top. Cover chicken with 2 more sheets of saran wrap.
- Using a meat tenderizer, pound the chicken breasts until they’re all equal thickness. (I aim for about ½ inch thickness).
- Remove the top layer of plastic wrap and evenly spread lemon juice on the chicken. In a small mixing bowl, combine dried rosemary and lemon pepper. Sprinkle on the chicken breasts.
- Grill chicken at 500°F for 8-10 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165°F. Plate and enjoy!

Notes
- Pair your chicken with your favorite roasted or grilled vegetables, rice, rolls—whatever sounds best to you!
- Store cooked chicken in the refrigerator for up to 3-5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
