Grilled Lemon Chicken with Garlic Bread image

This light dinner is just the thing for an end-of-the summer evening. In minutes, thin cutlets get lemony taste from a quick marinade and smokiness from the hot grill. To complete the meal, serve with our Corn and Radish Salad.

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for grates
2 garlic cloves
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice, plus lemon wedges, for serving
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 1/2 pounds chicken cutlets (about 8)
4 thick slices country bread

Steps:

  • Heat grill to high; lightly oil grates. Mince 1 garlic clove, and place in a shallow dish. Add lemon juice and 1 tablespoon oil; season with salt and pepper. Add chicken, and toss to coat. Let stand at room temperature at least 5 minutes (and up to 30).
