LEMON GARLIC MARINADE FOR CHICKEN
I'm not sure where I got this recipe but it is very good. I usually throw some chicken breasts in a ziploc bag and add this marinade and then freeze. All I have to do for a quick meal is thaw and toss on the grill. This makes enough marinade for about 1-1.5 pounds of chicken breasts. Cooking time reflects marinating time.

PERFECT LEMON-GARLIC CHICKEN MARINADE
I put this together when I was making some other Lebanese dishes, and I wanted chicken, but wasn't sure how I was going to make it. So this is what I came up with. One of the ingredients is Sumac- can find in middle eastern markets for sure. Its a dark red spice, that adds a lemony flavor. Its so very good. I like to make this chicken and serve it with Tabouli and Hummus. But I think it would be great with just about anything you choose to serve it with.

Steps:
- If chicken breasts are boneless and thick, I think they turn out better butterflied.
- Peel garlic and crush using a mortar/pestol with a little salt (makes crushing garlic easier) or buy garlic already crushed and place in a small bowl.
- Add lemon juice, olive oil, and sumac, and salt if you bought crushed garlic.
- Mix together.
- Place chicken in ziploc bag, add mixture from bowl. Make sure chicken is coated, seal bag and then place in refrigerator.
- I think it tastes best when marinated for at least 4 hours. But I 'm sure less is fine too.
- Grill chicken until done.
