2 Lemons juiced
1 Lemon zest

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all of the marinade ingredients until well combined.
Add the chicken breasts and turn to coat them evenly with the marinade.

Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Grill the chicken for 6–7 minutes per side, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Remove the chicken from the grill, let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. Then the chicken is ready to slice, serve and enjoy!
