Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 T fresh-squeezed lemon juice
- 1 T garlic puree
- 1 tsp. dried poultry seasoning
- 4 T olive oil
- Roasted Red Pepper Aioli Sauce
Directions
- Remove any visible fat and tendons from the chicken breasts, then make small cuts along the length of each piece.
- In a bowl, whisk the lemon juice, garlic, poultry seasoning, and olive oil until combined.
- Choose a Ziploc bag or a plastic container with a snug-fitting lid that can hold the chicken in one flat layer.
- Add the chicken to the bag or container, pour the marinade over it, close it securely, and turn it several times so every piece is coated.
- Refrigerate the chicken in the marinade for 6-8 hours, or as long as 24 hours if you are getting a head start.
- When it is time to cook, take the chicken out of the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature.
- Brush the grill grates or grill pan with olive oil, or coat them with non-stick spray.
- Heat a gas grill, charcoal grill, or stove-top grill pan to medium-high, hot enough that you can hold your hand over it only briefly.
- Grill the chicken for about 4-5 minutes on the first side. If you want grill marks, rotate the pieces partway through that time.
- Flip the chicken and cook for another 4-5 minutes, until it feels firm and has a little browning.
- Serve the chicken hot with Roasted Red Pepper Aioli Sauce.
