About This Recipe

A quick, easy, and flavorful protein, this Grilled Lemon Pepper Chicken is just 5 ingredients and perfect for summer grilling! Paleo, Whole30, gluten free, and dairy free.

Ingredients

  • 2 1/5 pounds chicken breast ((about 4-6 breasts))
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice (about 4-6 lemons)
  • 2 tablespoons coarse black pepper
  • lemon zest from lemons
  • salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. All all ingredients to a large ziplock bag or glass container. Mix well to coat the chicken, making sure all sides get covered (I like to shake the bag). Marinate for a maximum of 2 hours, shaking/stirring once. Marinade can be thrown away once used.
  2. Heat grill to medium-high heat. Once hot, place chickenover direct heat and grill for 8 minutes. Flip and move to indirect heat (not directly over fire/coals) and cook for another 7-12 minutes depending on how thick your breasts are, or until internal temperature reaches 165 degress.
  3. Let cool for 3-5 minute. Serve with some veggies and carbs and enjoy!
