Grilled Lemon Pepper Chicken with Garlic Mashed Potatoes
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 lemons, juiced and zested
- 2 teaspoons lemon pepper seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup milk
- 4 tablespoons butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, the juice and zest of 2 lemons, 2 teaspoons of lemon pepper seasoning, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
- Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and massage the marinade into the chicken. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- While the chicken is marinating, place the diced potatoes and minced garlic in a large pot. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain the potatoes and garlic, then return them to the pot.
- Mash the potatoes and garlic together with the milk and butter until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the excess marinade. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
- Serve the grilled lemon pepper chicken with a side of garlic mashed potatoes. Enjoy!
