Lemon and Garlic Grilled Chicken


The sun is out and it's warm outside and that means it's grilling time at our house.  This grilled chicken marinade is delicious.  The combination of lemon and garlic flavoring is just right...Not to mention, it's super easy to whip up and if you cut the chicken into strips you can get away with marinating for only 5-6 hours in the fridge....instead of overnight.  This recipe comes from Mel's Kitchen Cafe.


Lemon and Garlic Grilled Chicken

Juice of 1 lemon, approximately 3 tablespoons
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon minced garlic, about 2 medium cloves
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 pound chicken breasts (Cut really thick chicken breasts down into smaller strips so they absorb the marinade better.)


Combine all marinade ingredients. Place chicken in a ziploc bag (or glass bowl with lid) and pour marinade over chicken. Seal bag and place in fridge overnight. Grill (or cook in frying pan). Serve with sides of your choice or cut into bite sized pieces and add to desired recipe.
