Ingredients

1 small head of garlic, peeled and sliced thinly
1/4 cup flat leaf parsley, chopped
salt and pepper, to taste
4 chicken breast halves (boned or not but with skin)

Steps:

In a small bowl combine the garlic and parsley. Season with salt and pepper (I like a lot of pepper) to taste. Reserve half of the mixture for the sauce.
Gently lift the skin of each chicken breast half to form a small pocket. Stuff each pocket with a quarter of the remaining garlic mixture.
Grill or broil chicken breasts 8-10 minutes on each side until springy to the touch. Do not overcook.
Heat the butter in a small skillet and add the remaining garlic mixture. Saute for a few seconds, add lemon juice, and heat through.

GARLIC-LEMON CHICKEN BREASTS GRILLED ON THE BIG GREEN EGG RECIPE

Garlic-Lemon Chicken Breasts Grilled on the Big Green Egg Recipe image

Provided by angelahon

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

5 Organic chicken breasts
3 cloves garlic
1 large lemon, squeezed
1/3 cup extra olive oil
Salt and pepper
Fresh chopped parsley

Steps:

Blend the garlic, lemon, and olive oil with some salt and pepper together in the blender. When done, set aside 2-3 tbs. to drizzle over the chicken when it's cooked. Generously season the chicken breasts on both sides with the spice rub and some salt and pepper. Put the chicken in a Ziploc bag and pour the marinade in, distributing it over the chicken. Marinate for 30 minutes. Prep your grill and heat it to 350 degrees over a medium fire or medium direct heat. Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook 8-12 minutes, flipping occasionally, until the meat registers an internal temperature of 170 degrees. Place chicken on a platter, drizzle with reserved marinade, and tent with foil. Let rest for ten to fifteen minutes. Top with fresh chopped parsley and serve.

Tips:

Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C) before you remove it from the grill.
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chicken.
Serve the chicken with your favorite sides. Some popular options include grilled vegetables, mashed potatoes, or roasted potatoes.
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the garlic-lemon marinade for at least 30 minutes before grilling. This will help the chicken absorb the flavors of the marinade and make it even more delicious.
If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the chicken in a grill pan over medium heat. Just be sure to preheat the grill pan before adding the chicken.

Conclusion:

Garlic lemon chicken breasts grilled on the Big Green Egg are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, and the garlic-lemon marinade gives it a wonderful taste. This dish is perfect for a summer cookout or a weeknight dinner.
