Grilled Garlic Lemon Pepper Chicken over Linguine

Monday, March 22, 2010
Here is the delicious marinade for grilling chicken to keep it moist and perfect for topping any pasta you like.


All the great taste with less fat and calories in this lemon pepper chicken recipe.


The marinade is also perfect for pork and fish.


We love grilling season and this is one of my favorite recipes because it's so easy to put together with just a few pantry ingredients and so flavorful.


The chicken can also be baked in the oven if you don't own a grill no problem.


This fork-tender chicken breast has a tangy flavor after marinating for a few hours, it's just perfect


Simple to make, elegant to serve for your family or guests any time of the week or on special occasions.


Besides these being healthier, I find it so much easier not to stand over a hot stove frying chicken and less fuss.

  15. The chicken looks marvelous. I was thinking about what meal I would associate with my dad and I would have to go with Chicken Marsala. Which is odd because it is probably the only Italian thing he made.
