Meyer Lemon Grilled Chicken
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup Meyer lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 Meyer lemon, thinly sliced
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of Meyer lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 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. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the excess marinade. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- During the last few minutes of grilling, place the thinly sliced Meyer lemon on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly charred.
- Remove the chicken and grilled Meyer lemon slices from the grill. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve the grilled chicken with the charred Meyer lemon slices on top for an extra burst of flavor.
Meyer Lemon Grilled Chicken has a rich history dating back to the fusion of Californian and Mediterranean cuisines. Renowned chefs like Alice Waters and Thomas Keller popularized this dish in their iconic restaurants in the Bay Area. The succulent chicken is marinated in a blend of Meyer lemon juice, garlic, and herbs, infusing it with a tantalizing citrus flavor. The dish has since become a staple in Californian cuisine, celebrated for its bright and zesty profile. Today, the best versions of this dish can be found in farm-to-table restaurants that prioritize using fresh, high-quality ingredients. The key to perfecting this dish lies in the balance of tangy Meyer lemon and aromatic herbs, creating a symphony of flavors on the grill.
