THE BEST GRILLED LEMON CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a large ziploc bag, combine chicken, olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper.
• Seal the bag and shake it all up until well combined.
• Place bag in the refrigerator and marinate for about 4 hours or overnight.
• Preheat the grill to about 375F to 400F.
• Brush grill grates with olive oil.
• Remove chicken breasts from marinade and place them on the hot grill; cook without touching it until the chicken breasts start getting some grill marks, about 5 minutes.
• Turn the chicken breasts over, cover the grill, and let finish cooking, about 7 more minutes, depending on the thickness of the chicken. Chicken is done when a meat thermometer registers 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Remove chicken from grill; cover and let rest for 5 minutes before cutting.
• TO PREPARE ON A CAST IRON GRILL PAN

• Remove from oven and let rest 5 minutes.
• Serve.
