Ashley’s Perfect Grilled Lemon Chicken
a recipe from a great reader, Ashley S.
Ingredients
| 4 | boneless, skinless chicken breasts |
| 3 | lemons, halved and juiced (save juice and rind) |
| 6 | cloves of garlic (smashed with flat side of knife) |
| 6 | whole sprigs of rosemary |
| 1 c. | olive oil |
| 2 t. | salt |
| ½ t. | red pepper (crushed or cayenne works) |
| ½ t. | cinnamon |
Instructions
1. Rinse chicken breasts and pat dry. Pierce breasts several times with fork tines. Drop chicken into a Ziploc bag.
2. In a separate bowl, mix lemon juice, olive oil, salt and spices. Pour on top of chicken and squish chicken around in the Ziploc to make sure chicken is fully coated.
3. Add lemon halves, garlic cloves and rosemary springs to the bag. Squeeze air out and seal. Squish chicken around in all ingredients again to make sure everything is evenly distributed. Marinade in the fridge for at least one hour.
4. Heat grill and cook chicken over a medium flame for 7-8 minutes, or until chicken is just cooked through.
Naptime Notes
Naptime Recipe Serving ideas
The great thing about a marinade is that you can always double or triple the recipe if you have more mouths to feed. I bet this would also be delicious with shrimp or fish.
Naptime Stopwatch
The best part about grilling is that it is so easy. Mixing the marinade takes 5 minutes during naptime and then it merely sits in the fridge and does all the work on it’s own. There is nothing more Naptime Chef-friendly than that.
Naptime Reviews
My daughter isn’t too keen on the taste of grilled food yet, but she enjoyed this. The rest of the family polished off their pieces, then asked for the recipe.
