Equipment
- Outdoor Barbecue Grill
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon pepper
- Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Marinate chicken in oil, lemon juice, and pepper.
- Remove chicken and discard marinade.
- Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and grill for approximately 7-8 minutes on each side.
- You can also bake in the oven for 45 minutes at 350 degrees.
Notes
- You can bake or grill this chicken, whatever you prefer. I usually marinate the chicken in the afternoon for at least thirty minutes, preferably longer, then have my husband throw it on the grill just before dinner.
- Parmesan cheese helps give the chicken a nice, golden crust on the outside, but if you don't have any on hand, don't worry! It tastes delicious without.
- Store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to three days. You could also double the batch and freeze cooked chicken breasts for up to two months! They're perfect to grab and thaw for dinner or lunch. Thaw them out in the fridge, then microwave or toss in the oven until heated through.
