Zesty Lemon Pepper Chicken

Welcome to our kitchen! Today we are going to show you how to make a delicious and zesty lemon pepper chicken. This dish is bursting with flavor and is sure to become a family favorite. So, let's get started!

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1/4 cup of olive oil
• 2 lemons, juiced and zested
• 2 tablespoons of freshly ground black pepper
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 1 tablespoon of fresh chopped parsley

Instructions:

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, black pepper, minced garlic, and salt. This will be our marinade for the chicken.

2. Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over the chicken. Seal the bag and massage the marinade into the chicken, making sure it is well coated. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

3. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the excess marinade. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

4. Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. This will allow the juices to redistribute and result in juicier chicken.

5. Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the grilled chicken before serving to add a pop of color and freshness.

6. Serve the zesty lemon pepper chicken with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or a green salad. Enjoy!
