This grilled chicken is almost naked, but so flavorful! It is super simple, and perfect for topping salads or serving with rice pilaf. I got the “no-recipe recipe” from a relative (hi Shirley!) who is one of the best cooks I know and has the best recipes. Every time I have her chicken, I ask, “what did you season that with?” and every time she answers “just lemon juice, onion salt and pepper.” And I say “Oh, yea, I ask you that ever time, huh?” By making it myself tonight and writing this post, I am sure it will stay in my memory so I won’t ask her again!
It tasted great for dinner tonight, I used it to make a Spinach Tortellini Salad and it was perfection.
Almost Naked Grilled Chicken
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 lemon
Onion Salt
Pepper
~Slice lemon in half and squeeze 1/2 a lemon onto 2 breasts.
~Repeat with the other half of lemon.
~Sprinkle both sides of chicken breast liberally with onion salt and a bit of pepper.
~Let sit for at least 1/2 hour.
~Grill.
Can’t get much more simple than that, huh?
