Quick Garlic Lemon Marinaded Grilled Skinless Boneless Chicken Breast

Yep, it tastes as good as it sounds. Quick and easy. A marinade of butter, lemon, garlic and spices. Cooked over direct heat for speed and a little bit of "crunchy".

This was our standard grilled chicken when the kids were young. The components are always in the house so not much thinking ahead.

Rating 9.7  Taste 9.8 Moisture 9 Ease 10 (my wife gives it a ten)
Time: 45 minutes total. 5 minutes prep. 10 minutes marinading and 30 minutes cooking.

Notes: I scored the smooth side of the breasts. I saw this somewhere it seems like a good idea to allow the marinade to penetrate better. Three chicken breasts because that is want was in the package. The left overs are great on salad.

Tools: Clean grill

Ingredients:

3 Skinless boneless chicken breasts
6 T Butter (3/4 stick)
6 T ReaLemon juice
2 T preminced garlic (sub 6-8 cloves crushed garlic)
1 T Lowrey's Seasoning salt
1/2 t black pepper

Instructions:

1) Trim chicken breasts. Lightly score (about 1/8 inch deep) across grain every 1/2 inch on the smooth side of the breast.

2) In a medium size  sauce pan, melt butter over medium high heat. Add garlic and bloom for 1 minute. Add spices and ReaLemon. Mix well and simmer over low heat for 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Add chicken breast smooth size down, stir well and be sure breast are covered with liquid.
3) Now preheat grill for 10 minutes on high, clean well and oil.

4) Place breasts over high direct heat for 5-6 minutes per side. On third and forth flip re-baste the breast with the marinade and turn heat down to medium.
5) Continue to cook until internal temp of 165. (about 30 minutes total cooking time)

6) Let rest for 5-10 minutes prior to serving.

Pleaseeeee
