Grilled Lemon Pepper Chicken Recipe

Step 1

Combine all ingredients for the marinade (olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, lemon pepper seasoning) in a glass dish or zip-top bag. Add the chicken breasts and marinate in the refrigerator for 4-8 hours.

Step 2

When you're ready to grill your lemon pepper chicken, preheat the grill to medium-high heat (around 400 degrees F).

Step 3

Remove the chicken from the marinade. Sprinkle the chicken on all sides with lemon pepper seasoning.

Step 4

Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 6-8 minutes per side. Remove the chicken once it reaches 160 degrees F. Optionally, you can grill some lemon slices alongside the chicken for a fun garnish.

Step 5

Cover the chicken loosely with aluminum foil and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. This helps keep the chicken moist when it comes to its final temperature of 165 degrees F.

Step 6

Serve the chicken with grilled lemon slices or fresh lemon.
