Low Carb Recipe for Lemon Chicken

Everyone will think you slaved all day in the kitchen when you serve this amazing creamy lemon flavored chicken breasts. All you really had to do, was set the chicken to marinate a few hours, and then placed it on the grill to cook 10-15 minutes . Easy, quick, and delicious.

4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts ( 1 pound total)
1/2 cup creamy Italian salad dressing
1 tablespoon shredded lemon peel
1/4 cup lemon juice
pinch pepper

In a Ziploc bag, pour in Italian dressing, lemon peel, lemon juice, and pepper. Mix together well. Add chicken breasts, seal completely and place in fridge for several hours. Turn bag occasionally (if you remember, or are around).

Pull out chicken from bag and place on grill. Cook for 5 minutes, then brush marinate on both sides.

Discard remaining marinate.
This is to make sure the marinate is cooked thoroughly and does not cross contaminate cooked food with raw chicken juices. Do not use again during the cooking process.

Cook for remaining 6-10 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 170F.

Serve.
