TUSCAN LEMON CHICKEN
Steps:
- Sprinkle the chicken with 1 teaspoon salt on each side. Combine the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, rosemary, and 2 teaspoons pepper in a small measuring cup. Place the chicken in a ceramic or glass dish just large enough to hold it flat. Pour the lemon marinade over the chicken, turning it in the dish. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Turn the chicken 2 or 3 times while marinating.
- When ready to grill, prepare a hot charcoal fire on 1 side of a grill (or turn a gas grill on low heat). Spread 1/4 of the coals across the other side of the grill. Place the chicken on the cooler side, skin side up, and weigh it down with the dish you used for marinating. Cook for 12 to 15 minutes, until the underside is golden brown. Turn the chicken skin side down, weight again with the dish, and cook for another 12 to 15 minutes, until the skin is golden brown and the chicken is cooked through. Place the lemon halves on the cool side of the grill, cut side down for the last 10 minutes of cooking. Remove the chicken to a plate or cutting board, cover with aluminum foil, and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Cut in quarters, sprinkle with salt, and serve with the grilled lemon halves.

TUSCAN LEMON CHICKEN (SKILLET OR GRILL)
This easy dinner recipe is adapted from "Barefoot Contessa: Back to Basics", by Ina Garten. The chicken gets so tender, it just falls off the bone. Chicken needs to marinate for at least 4 hours, so you can prepare it in the morning (or the evening before) and then just cook before dinner. {The original recipe calls for grilling the chicken. If you want to grill the chicken: Spread 1/4 of the coals across the other side of the grill, place the chicken on the cooler side, skin side up, and weight it down with a heavy dish. Cook for 12-15 minutes, until the underside is golden brown, turn over and weight it again. Cook for another 12-15 minutes. Place the lemon halves on the cool side of the grill in the last 10 minutes of cooking. Remove chicken to a plate and tent with tin foil. Allow to rest for 5 minutes. Cut into quarters, sprinkle with salt and serve with grilled lemon halves.} THE CALORIE COUNT FOR THIS RECIPE IS INCORRECT: I used the USDA website to calculate it and it is actually 357 calories per serving.

Steps:
- Whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper and thyme.
- Pour over the chicken breasts in a non-reactive bowl. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 6 hours or overnight.
Tips:
- Use a sharp knife to score the chicken breasts deeply, but not all the way through. This will help the marinade penetrate the chicken and make it more flavorful.
- Use a flavorful marinade. The marinade in this recipe is made with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, thyme, and oregano. You can also use other herbs and spices that you like, such as rosemary, basil, or cumin.
- Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. The longer the chicken marinates, the more flavorful it will be.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat before cooking the chicken. This will help to prevent the chicken from sticking to the grill and will also help to create a nice char.
- Cook the chicken breasts for 8-10 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through. You can check to see if the chicken is cooked through by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the breast. The chicken is cooked through when the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Barefoot Contessa's Grilled Lemon Chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make recipe that is perfect for a summer cookout. The chicken is marinated in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, thyme, and oregano, then grilled to perfection. The result is a juicy, tender, and flavorful chicken that is sure to please everyone at your table.
