This recipe I saw Rachael Ray do on one of her shows and I thought it was great. Eating chicken is a great way to eat protein, but still eat healthy. Here is a fun way to eat chicken with tons of flavor. Healthy flavor.
Lemon Garlic Herb Chicken
Make as much as you want, serve 2 chicken breasts per person.
Ingredients
5 cloves garlic, peeled
Salt
Black pepper
2 lemons, zested
1 teaspoon fennel seed
5 to 6 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves stripped and finely chopped
3 to 4 sprigs fresh rosemary, leaves stripped and finely chopped
A handful flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
1/2 to 2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided
4-8 boneless skinless chicken breasts
Directions
Heat grill or grill pan to medium-high.
Grate the garlic onto acutting board and add a couple teaspoons salt, mash into paste with the flat of your knife. Alternatively you can finely chop the garlic and leave out the salt. Without salt it still tastes great!
Reserve 1/5 of the pasted garlic, about 1 clove and add the rest to a shallow dish. To the garlic, add the lemon zest, fennel seed, chopped thyme, rosemary, parsley and about 1/4 to 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil and some black pepper. Stir with a fork to combine then add chicken pieces and coat evenly. It will get a bit messy!
Grill chicken 12 to 15 minutes until juices run clear.
Remove chicken from the grill and squeeze the juice of 1 of the zested lemons down over the meat while still hot.
