Rosemary Lemon Chicken

by Dorothea Malloy

We once were invited to a cookout where a Cistercian priest made the most delicious grilled chicken we had ever tasted.  This is our attempt to duplicate that recipe.

8 Servings

Ingredients:
2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 cup lemon juice
1 minced clove garlic
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp coarsely ground pepper
1 tsp fresh or 1/2 tsp dried rosemary

Directions:
1. Remove any excess fat from the chicken breasts.  If pieces are very thick, cut them lengthwise in two. 
2. Mix marinade ingredients well and pour over chicken pieces in a gallon-size zipper bag. Chill at least 3 hours, up to 24 hours, turning pieces at least once. (Marinate longer for better flavor.)
3. Preheat grill to medium high heat. Broil chicken pieces 4-5 minutes on each side, removing smaller pieces first. Be careful not to overcook. 
4. Remove from grill and tent with foil for 5 minutes before serving.
