Easy, quick and VERY reliable. I've made this at least a dozen times and it's always good. One of my daughter's favorites. I always pound the chicken to even thickness. Have made on the grill or indoors on the grill pan. Good hot or left-over on a salad. I like to marinate it all day and it's extra lemon-y.

This chicken was so quick, easy and tasty I will make it all summer. I pounded the chicken breasts to even thickness before marinating to ensure even cooking times on the grill. We ate the chicken hot for dinner and then I sliced up the leftovers to add to a salad the next day for lunch.05/31/09
