Grilled Honey Lemon Chicken Recipe

INGREDIENTS

• 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded to even thickness
• ⅓ cup oil
• juice of 2 lemons (about 6 tablespoons)
• 4 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Whisk together oil, honey, garlic powder, salt, Italian seasoning, and black pepper.
2. Place chicken in a large resealable plastic bag. Add half of the sauce mixture and seal the bag. Chill at least 1 hour or overnight. Reserve remaining sauce.
3. Preheat grill to medium heat. Remove chicken from bag and discard the bag and marinade. Place chicken on grill and cook 5-7 minutes on each side until cooked through.
4. While chicken is cooking (or immediately afterwards) add reserved sauce to small sauce pan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 5-6 minutes.
5. Drizzle sauce over grilled chicken and serve immediately. Garnish with lemon wedges and fresh herbs if desired (I used fresh basil).
