This recipe comes from the Barefoot Contessa Cookbook. I was introduced to Ina Garten for the first time earlier this year while watching the food network with my mom. This recipe is super easy and flavorful. The lemon gives the marinade quite a kick. This makes quite a bit of marinade and next time I will likely halve the recipe or double the amount of chicken I use.
Grilled Lemon Chicken Skewers
3/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (4 lemons)
3/4 cup good olive oil
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme leaves, or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
2 pounds boneless chicken breasts, halved and skin removed (I used tenders.)
Whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, and thyme. Pour over the chicken breasts in a nonreactive bowl. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 6 hours or overnight.
Heat a charcoal grill. Grill the chicken breasts for 10 minutes on each side, until just cooked through.
