Grilled Lemon Garlic Chicken image

Found this recipe way back in the Taste of Home's Quick Cooking magazine and tweaked it for my family's taste. I have pounded the chicken breasts before I marinated them and fixed them on the Foreman Grill. It takes little time to prepare marinade but it needs to marinate for 6-8 hours then cook for 1 hour or until the chicken juice is clear.

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3 tablespoons choppped onions
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
4 -6 chicken breasts

Steps:

  • In a large plastic bag, combine the first eight ingredients; mix well. Remove 1/4 cup for basting and refrigerate.
  • Add chicken to the bag; seal and turn to coat. Refrigerate for 6-8 hours.
  • Drain and discard the marinade from chicken. Grill, covered, over medium heat for 20 minutes. Baste with the reserved marinade. Grill 20-30 minutes longer or until juices run clear, basting and turning several times.
  • The original recipe said you can bake the chicken in the oven for 50-60 minutes at 350 degree oven uncovered in a greased 13"x9" pan. (Turns out great!).
