A super easy, tasty way to add a bit of life to a boring chicken breast! Preparation time includes minimum marinade time. You can substitute the garlic powder and bottled lemon juice for fresh ingredients if you like but I use them for quickness. Also you can alter the amount of lemon pepper, lemon juice and garlic powder to taste. I sometimes add some chopped chives or mixed herbs if i fancy a change. Just increase the amounts accordingly to marinade more chicken breasts. This chicken is best cooked on a BBQ but as i live in England 9 times out of 10 it ends up on my George Foreman grill!!! Fanastic and served hot or cold. Ingredients:
1 teaspoon lemon pepper |
8 tablespoons lemon juice |
1 tablespoon garlic powder |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
2 chicken breasts |
1 plastic sandwich bag |
salt (to season) |
Directions:
1. In the sandwich bag combine the garlic powder, lemon pepper, salt, lemon juice and olive oil. Give it a good shake.
2. Score the chickn breasts lightly on both sides (this helps cut down the marinade time).
3. Place chicken breasts into the sandwich bag and close. Give them a good massage and put in the fridge to marinate. If possible leave them over night but 20 - 30 mins is long enough for a great flavour.
4. Remove chicken from the marinade and cook in your favourite way until the juices of the chicken run clear (on my George Foreman it takes around 15 - 20 mins depending on the thickness of the chicken breast).
5. Et voila! I serve with buttered new potatoes and a crisp salad for a tasty, healthy meal. This chicken is also AMAZING on a BBQ!
