In the summer, grilling is a great way to keep inside cool and clean from all the mess of prepping the kitchen. To help you keep your kitchen cleaner and your home cooler, I am sharing an easy and quick Lemon chicken recipe to help you prepare a weekend meal during the week weeknight.
My mother would make these types of grill dishes all the time when I was a kid, and I decided to continue the tradition with my family. It's a recipe that the entire family enjoyed, young and old. I especially love this dish in the warmer months served with romaine or spinach salad.
What ingredients do I need to make this Grilled Rosemary Garlic and Lemon Chicken Recipe?
3 Tablespoons fresh rosemary chopped
4 cloves of garlic minced
3 Tablespoons of lemon juice
4 Tablespoons of Olive Oil
1 ½ chicken thighs (boneless, skinless)
1 tsp smoked paprika
How to make this Grilled Rosemary Garlic and Lemon Chicken Recipe?
Add all the ingredients into a bowl and marinate for 1-2 hours.
The more you marinate it, the better the chicken becomes. So, if you need to do it before you go to work, feel free.
This recipe can also be a freezer meal. All you need to do is toss all the items above in a freezer baggie and place them in the freezer. And, when you take it out to defrost, it will continue to marinate.
Add the chicken thighs to a hot cleaned grill. Visit our post about How to easily clean your grill.
Cook on the grill for 30 minutes turning every 15 minutes.
Let cool for a few minutes and slice and serve with a salad.

Doesn't it look yummy? I like making about 6-8 boneless skinless chicken thighs so my husband and I would have protein for lunch the next day.

Oh, there's that smoked paprika again!
I don't have a barbecue (not allowed where I live) but I think I'll make this on my Cuisinart Griddler. One of the best investments we've ever made - we're actually on our second one!

I'm a big fan of using smoked paprika. Recipe looks good.

Yum, that is a great combination, one I happen to live.
