Weight Watchers Grilled Lemon Chicken

Serves 4
4pts/4pp


Ingredients:

1 garlic clove, peeled 
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 (5oz) skinless boneless chicken breasts
Chopped fresh flat leaf parsley

Directions:

1. With side of large knife, mash garlic with salt until it forms a paste.

2. To make marinade, combine lemon zest and juice, oil, garlic paste, oregano, and pepper in large zip lock bag, add chicken. Squeeze out air and seal bag; turn to coat chicken. Refrigerate, turning bag occasionally, at least 30 minutes or up to overnight. ( I did 7 hours)

3. Spray grill rack with nonstick spray. Pre-heat grill to medium or prepare medium fire using direct method.

4. Remove chicken from marinade; discard marinade. Place chicken on grill rack and grill until cooked through, about 6 minutes per side. Serve sprinkled with parsley.

Note: The longer you let the chicken marinade the more intense the lemon flavor will be.
