Grilled Lemon Chicken

Looking for a quick dinner to throw on the grill this summer?  This just might be it.  Simple to prepare and it doesn’t require hours of time to marinate the meat.  The chicken turns out moist and flavorful.  Serve it with a green salad and grilled corn-on-the-cob for a delicious summer dinner.

 

Grilled Lemon Chicken

4 teaspoons dried parsley

1 teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon lemon zest

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 cup Chardonnay or other dry white wine

 Four 4 oz. boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Lemon slices for garnish (optional)

Directions:

Combine first six ingredients in a shallow glass baking dish.  Add chicken, turning pieces to coat.  Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least one hour.  Turn chicken pieces every half hour.

Remove chicken from marinade.  Set aside.

Heat the marinade in a small saucepan until it just begins to boil.  Set aside.

Preheat the grill to medium heat.  Place the chicken on the grill and cook 5 minutes on each side until the chicken is done, basting with the reserved marinade. 

Garnish with lemon slices, if desired.

Makes 4 servings.
