The Best Grilled Lemon Chicken

Ingredients

• 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1/3 cup olive oil
• zest of 2 lemons
• 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice (zest the lemons before juicing)
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
• salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste
• 1 whole lemon cut into slices

Instructions

1. In a large ziploc bag, combine chicken, olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper.
2. Seal the bag and shake it all up until well combined.
3. Place bag in the refrigerator and marinate for about 4 hours or overnight. 
4. Preheat the grill to about 375F to 400F.
5. Brush grill grates with olive oil.
6. Remove chicken breasts from marinade and place them on the hot grill; cook without touching it until the chicken breasts start getting some grill marks, about 5 minutes.
7. Turn the chicken breasts over, cover the grill, and let finish cooking, about 7 more minutes, depending on the thickness of the chicken. Chicken is done when a meat thermometer registers 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
8. Remove chicken from grill; cover and let rest for 5 minutes before cutting.
