Pollo al Limon

Ingredients

Chicken breasts

4, boneless and skinless

Lemon

2, juiced and zested

Garlic

4 cloves, minced

Olive oil

1/4 cup

Salt

1 teaspoon

Black pepper

1/2 teaspoon

Fresh parsley

1/4 cup, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create a flavorful marinade.
2. Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the lemon marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the chicken.
3. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
4. Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Discard the leftover marinade.
5. Grill the chicken for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is beautifully charred and cooked through.
6. Transfer the grilled chicken to a serving platter and sprinkle generously with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
7. Serve hot with your favorite side dishes such as grilled vegetables, a refreshing salad, or creamy polenta.
