Lemon Garlic Grilled Chicken

This was a real simple way to use some of the lemons from out lemon tree.


Ingredients

• 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
• 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh oregano
• 2 tablespoons minced garlic
• 2 tablespoons kosher salt
• 2 teaspoons black pepper
• 1/3 cup olive oil
• 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 2 lemons, cut crosswise into 1/3-inch-thick slices

Process

Preheat the grill to 350. Plan on cooking the chicken away from the burner.

Whisk together lemon juice, oregano, garlic, 1/2 tablespoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl and add oil in a slow stream, whisking. Divide in half.

Coat the chicken breasts with 1 1/2 tablespoons salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper.

Place the chicken breasts on aluminum foil large enough to wrap two breasts in a closed pouch. 

Coat the chicken breasts with 1/2 of the lemon juice and oil mixture. 

Close the pounce and place on the grill away from the heat. Let cook for 20 minutes then open the ouch and place the chicken over the heat for 10 minutes to a side to get nice grill marks on the chicken.  During the last 5 minutes grill the lemon slices two to three minutes per side.

When removed from the grill dip into the other 1/2 of the lemon oil mixture. Garish chicken with lemon slices when plating.

Serve.
