Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Kosher salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 1/4 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, about 6 cutlets
  • 1 lemon cut in half
  • Mixed green for serving

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. If using chicken breasts, slice them in half lengthwise to make 6 cutlets then place them in a freezer bag.
  2. Whisk together the lemon zest, juice, olive oil, dijon, rosemary, garlic, salt and pepper.
  3. Pour the marinade all over the chicken, press the air out of the bag, seal it and massage the marinade into the chicken. Place the chicken in the fridge to marinate for approximately 30 minutes or 1 hour at the most.
  4. Remove the chicken from the fridge and preheat the grill to medium-high. Brush the grates of the grill with oil using a paper towel, then place the chicken on the grill and cook until golden with grill marks, approximately 3 minutes per side depending on how thick your cutlets are.
  5. While the chicken is cooking place the lemon on the grill cut side down and grill for approximately 3-4 minutes. Remove the chicken and lemon from the grill and serve over the mixed greens.
  6. Squeeze some of the juice from the grilled lemon over the chicken before serving.
