Five ingredients for an amazing dish. Wish they were all this easy.
I served it with a fresh salad, and it was a hit. The kids loved pounding the chicken too—it made the cooking process fun after the day I had had.
The chicken was moist, flavourful, and cooked perfectly in just a few minutes. We made it for a casual dinner, and everyone loved it. It’s light but packed with flavour, and we served it with a side of crisp salad and lemon wedges. A definite repeat
This grilled lemon chicken is a must-try! The marinade, with the bright citrus from the lemon and a hint of garlic, really elevates the dish. After marinating overnight, the chicken turned out incredibly tender, and the grilling gave it a slight charred flavour that complemented the tangy taste.
It’s a great dish for a barbecue or just a simple family dinner. We served it with some new potatoes, and it was perfect.
The citrusy marinade really comes through after an overnight soak, and the grilling adds a slightly smoky edge that balances the tang of the lemon beautifully.
This dish is perfect for a light lunch or dinner, and pairing it with seasonal greens rounded it out nicely. I’ll definitely make this again.
Marinating the chicken overnight infused it with tons of flavour, and grilling the flattened breasts made them cook quickly and evenly. The chicken was juicy and packed with zesty goodness.
A simple and healthy recipe that delivers. The combination of lemon juice, white wine, and garlic was fantastic.
I love how easy and flavourful this grilled lemon chicken is! Pounding the chicken breasts made them tender and helped them cook evenly, which was great for a quick meal. The marinade, with lemon and olive oil, gave the chicken a fresh and tangy flavour, while the white wine added a subtle depth.
Grilling the chicken gave it a lovely char without drying it out. I served it with steamed vegetables, and the whole meal was delicious.
I love how quickly it came together after marinating overnight. The lemon flavour really shone through, and it was delicious served alongside a light salad. A wonderful, fuss-free meal
Such an easy and tasty chicken recipe
