Greek Lemon Grilled Chicken

Ingredients:

• 6-8 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1/3 cup dry white wine (optional)

Marinade:

• 1/4 cup good olive oil (P3 only)
• 3 tablespoons minced garlic (9 cloves)
• 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest (2 lemons)
• 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme leaves
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 4 boneless chicken breasts, skin on (6 to 8 ounces each)
• 1 lemon

Trim all visible fat and membranes from chicken breasts, I like to make small crosswise slits about 1/2 inch apart down the length of each chicken breast to help the marinade penetrate the meat. Put chicken in single layer in Ziploc bag.

Combine marinade ingredients and pour over chicken. Marinate in refrigerator 6-8 hours or all day if desired. (If you don't have that long to marinate I recommend increasing the lemon juice a little.)

Preheat grill to medium-hot and grill chicken 20-25 minutes, or until well browned and firm but not hard to the touch. (I've been cooking this slightly less than 20 minutes the last few times I've made it. Actual cooking time will depend on the heat of your grill and the temperature outside, so don't overcook.)

This chicken could also be cooked in a stove-top grill pan with ridges or a George Foreman Grill with good results.

Even if you're only cooking for a few people I recommend making the whole recipe. The leftover chicken is great to cut up on top of a salad, or mixed into some stir-fried veggies for a quick lunch.
