This is a simple marinade for chicken that is perfect for summer. It has a very light flavor with a wonderful punch of lemon.
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless,skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 Tbsp fresh thyme, minced
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2tsp pepper
Directions
Mix the lemon juice, olive oil, thyme, salt, and pepper to create the marinade. Add the chicken to the marinade and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight. Flip the chicken halfway through the marinating time. Grill chicken using your favorite method - charcoal/gas, indoor/outdoor, etc.
Tips:
- When ready to grill the chicken, remove from marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Patting the chicken dry will ensure that it grills and does not steam.
- Make the marinade in a plastic ziploc bag. You can pour all the ingredients in it, seal, and shake. Then you add the chicken to marinate. This makes it easy to flip the chicken - just flip the bag. Plus, you don't dirty as many dishes.
