Grilled Mediterranean-Inspired Citrus Chicken Thighs image

Citrus/herb flavored chicken thighs. Serve with couscous or orzo and freshly steamed vegetables. I like to serve this with the Orzo with Parmesan and Basil recipe on this site by DODIEPAJER.

Time 45m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 6

¼ cup olive oil
2 medium lemons, juiced
2 cloves garlic, crushed
¼ teaspoon ground thyme
freshly ground black pepper to taste
½ pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs

Steps:

  • Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, thyme, and pepper together in a bowl and pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add chicken thighs, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Remove chicken thighs from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
  • Cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 4 to 7 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
