Ingredients

  • 4 boneless chicken breasts sliced butterfly style and pounded to ⅜ inch thick.
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • ¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Butterfly the chicken breasts and place them in a dish so they all lie flat.
  • Using a whisk, combine the olive oil and lemon juice until it is well blended and pour over the chicken breasts.
  • Cover the dish.
  • Marinate for an hour at room temperature or for several hours in the refrigerator.
  • If you refrigerate the chicken breasts, allow them to come to room temperature before grilling.
  • Heat your grill to high heat.
  • Place the marinated breasts on the grill and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side.
  • If the breasts are thin and the grill hot, this should be long enough to cook them through.
