Lemon Pepper Chicken
Lemon Pepper Chicken - This chicken is CRAZY delicious! Only 5 ingredients! SO simple! olive oil, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, lemon pepper and salt. The chicken is so tender and juicy. It has TONS of great flavor. We like to double the recipe for leftovers. Everyone loves this easy grilled chicken.
This Lemon Pepper Chicken only has a few ingredients and is ready for the grill in about an hour. Unlike most of our other chicken marinades, this one doesn't need to sit overnight in the fridge. The lemon juice will break down the chicken and make it mushy. Boo! It only needs about an hour to get great flavor. Throw this on the grill for a quick, easy and CRAZY delicious chicken. We like to double the recipe for leftovers. It is great on a salad or in a quesadilla.
**Don't forget my tip for grilling perfectly cooked and juicy chicken - pound the chicken to an even thickness. We put the chicken in a ziplock bag and use a meat mallet to pound out the thicker hump. This helps the chicken cook evenly and not dry out. This eliminates the thinner part drying out while you are trying to get the thicker end cooked.**

I love that this only requires an hour -- I can't ever seem to get things together enough to marinate overnight. This is perfect!
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious!!!
ReplyDeleteTried this yesterday and it was delicious!!! I panicked as I realized later I had not pinned the recipe and spent a good part of my day looking for it again. IT IS THAT GOOD! I had a lemon pepper combo spice from PURE that was perfect!!
ReplyDeleteQuestion for you. What if you wanted to cook this indoors? How would the timing work for the oven or frying pan? Love your recipes, they are for real people
ReplyDeleteI like to cook them in an oven safe skillet for 3 or 4 minutes per side and finish them off in the oven at 425 for about 10 minutes. Enjoy!!
DeleteHow long do you cook the chicken if you are cooking in a pan on the stove?
