Preparation

Step 1

Place chicken in a large zipper-topped plastic bag. In a small bowl combine broth, lemon peel, lemon juice, 1/2 tablespoon of thyme and pepper; pour over chicken. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours, turning occasionally. Preheat indoor or outdoor grill to medium heat. Drain chicken, reserving marinade; grill for 12 to 15 minutes or until cooked through, turning and brushing with marinade halfway through grilling. Discard any remaining marinade. Add lemon halves to grill for the last 3 minutes of grilling. Serve chicken with grilled lemons and top with additional thyme.

SERVING SUGGESTION: Steamed red skinned potatoes and grilled OR steamed asparagus.
