Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts, trimmed of fat and pounded out
- 3 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 lemons, juiced
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 3 cloves garlic, chopped
- 5 thyme sprigs, leaves removed
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Place chicken breast between 2 pieces of waxed paper and pound with a meat mallet until they are an even thickness.
- Whisk lemon juice, zest, olive oil, garlic, thyme, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Place chicken breasts in a plastic ziptop bag and add marinade. Place in a bowl to prevent leakage and place in fridge overnight.
- When ready to cook preheat grill to medium high. Make sure grates are clean and wipe with an olive oil spritzed paper towel.
- When heated place chicken breasts on grill and do not move. Cook 8 minutes on one side then flip. You may have to turn grill down to medium depending on the power of your grill.
- Begin checking the internal temperature with a meat thermometer. When temp reaches 165 degrees, remove chicken and place on a plate covered with foil.
- Slice and serve immediately with any pan juices. Garnish with more thyme.
