Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 2 to 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (3 1/2-pound) chicken, flattened
Kosher salt
1/3 cup good olive oil
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest (2 lemons)
1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon minced garlic (3 cloves)
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary leaves
Freshly ground black pepper
1 lemon, halved

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 PEPPER CHICKEN BREAST (SERVED COLD)



Tuscan Lemon Pepper Chicken Breast (Served Cold) image

I use this chicken for sandwiches and salads mostly and have received quite a few compliments on it. I mostly just wing this recipe so the spice measurements are an estimation, I usually just do everything to taste. Do everything on low heat so the chicken remains juicy.

LEMON-PEPPER FRIED CHICKEN



Lemon-Pepper Fried Chicken image

This lemon-pepper chicken was popular with my friends in grad school. We used to do the prep work at our desk and coffee table in the living room since we had only about 1 1/2 square feet of counter space in our tiny kitchenette. Serve chicken over rice with gravy, garnished with freshly ground pepper and lemon zest.

Lemon-Herb Roasted Potatoes: - Parboil some quartered baby red and Yukon gold skin-on baby red and Yukon gold skin-on baby red and Yukon gold skin-on baby red and Yukon gold skin. - Pat them dry and toss them in a bowl with extra-virgin oil, grated fresh thyme, minced fresh rosemary, and a nice grinding of black peppers. - Roast in a hot (450 degrees Fahrenheit) over until crispy-tender. - Serve immediately. 2. Italian Orzo Salad: - Prepare fresh orzo or your choice of short-cut past. - Make a lemony, herb vinaigrette with fresh squeezed lemons, fresh parsley, minced red onions, capers, and crushed red peppers. - Toss the cooled orzo with the vinaigrette and serve cold. 3. Arugula, shaved Parmesan and Lemon Wafers: - For the homemade Lemon wafers, think crisp, sweet, and tangy melt-aways. - It's very easy to make and are perfect with a simple ice cream, especially something made with citrus. - Serve some shaved Parmesan cheese. Shave it as thin as possible with a peeler and lay it flat. The shape doesn't matter, but you want it as flat as you can get it, as this helps it to crisp up quicker when you bake it. - Broil the Parmesan until it's beginning to brown. Serve it immediately with the arugula.
