Garlic Lemon Chicken

 Garlic Lemon Chicken

Serving 6-8  

Ingredients:

1 lb chicken breast

3 to 5- minced garlic gloves

3 Tbsp- extra virgin olive oil

1 Tbsp- italian parsley 

lemon juice (from 1/4 of a lemon)

lemon peel (from 1 lemon)

1/2 Tbsp- oregano

1/2 Tbsp- sea salt 

Once you have gathered all your ingredients cut the chicken in 8 very then slices. If you like your meat thicker you may want to use an extra 1/2 pound of chicken. Make sure to chop up the italian parsley, and to use a grater to grate 1 lemon for your lemon peel. 

Gather all the ingredients in a small bowl to create a paste.

 

Equally distribute the paste through out all your chicken breasts.

Marinate your chicken with the paste by spreading it all over and softly padding it with your hands. 

Almost Ready :)

Once your done you can place all the chicken in a small bowl and place it in the fridge for a few hours, so the chicken will absorbe the seasoning, or you can go ahead and fry it or grill it right after marinating it. Make sure when you fry or grill the chicken you never want to leave it to long frying or grilling because it takes all the juice out of the chicken and makes the chicken hard.

Substitutes: instead of sea salt- you can use regular salt, instead of olive oil- you can use butter or regular cooking oil , instead of lemon- you can use lime

Tips: Keep in mind when substituting any of the ingredients it will change the taste. For those of you who are on a diet and do not want to put the olive oil you can reduce the amount for less calories. If for some reason any of the ingredients that I used do not sound appealing to you what you can do is put less or more of what ever you like for it to taste more of how you like it tasting.This is a very easy and quick recipe and you can serve this with almost anything rice, pasta, or a salade. 

Bon apetite!!!  :)
