🍋 Zesty Grilled Chicken: Bring on the Beach Vibes

There’s something about grilled chicken and lemon that instantly transports you to warm sand, ocean air, and that sun-kissed, salty-haired glow. This Zesty Grilled Chicken recipe is simple, juicy, and full of summer attitude. Perfect with a cold summer ale, a good playlist, and the company of people who make you laugh until your sides hurt.

🌞 What You’ll Need

• 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 oz each)

• ½ cup fresh lemon juice

• 4 tsp grated lemon peel

• 4 tsp coarsely ground black pepper

• 2 tsp Dijon mustard

• 3 garlic cloves, crushed

🔥 Directions

1. Place chicken in a large non-aluminum bowl or dish.

2. In a medium bowl, mix together lemon juice, lemon peel, pepper, and Dijon mustard.

3. Stir in the garlic—because life’s too short for bland food.

4. Pour the marinade over the chicken, turning to coat evenly.

5. Cover and refrigerate overnight to let that citrus magic soak in.

6. When ready to grill, cook about 10 minutes per side or until fully done and slightly charred.

Makes 6 servings—if you can resist seconds.
