Garlic-Lemon-Dill Grilled Chicken
There is nothing easier than cooking on the grill. I guess I can say that because Jon does all of the grilling... But he's so good at it, so why would I interfere?
Over the weekend we decided to grill chicken and wanted light and fresh flavors for the marinade. I took my inspiration from this recipe for Garlic-Lemon Chicken Kabobs on the blog Loves to Eat. Instead of just garlic and lemon, we decided to add dill, fresh from my container garden of herbs. What a perfect addition! Some sort of yogurt dipping sauce would have been perfect with them... next time!

Ingredients
- 3 trimmed chicken breasts
- 3 cloves of garlic, put through the microplane
- 1/4 c light olive oil
- Juice from 1/2 lemon
- Zest from 1/2 lemon
- 3 sprigs of dill, roughly chopped
- A few turns of freshly ground black pepper
- Pinch of kosher salt
Directions
- Cut chicken into kabob sized pieces and put in a bowl
- Mix all other ingredients and pour over the chicken. Marinate for 2 hours.
- Put chicken onto skewers and grill; Jon starts with high heat and then cooks them at medium for about 15 minutes.
Here they are right off the grill -
We both really loved this chicken - the dill and lemon work so well together, and are the perfect combination for a light and fresh summer dish.
I served the chicken with grilled Brussels sprouts and potato salad.
