Directions:
- Begin by placing chicken breasts on a hard surface, cover with wax paper, and pound to ½” thickness. This step ensures that the meat will be tender and provides for even grilling.
- In a plastic or ziplock bag, mix olive oil, pepper, lemon zest and salt. Add the chicken and be sure the meat is well coated. Let it marinate in the fridge for 2 hours and better if overnight. If you are in a hurry, marinate for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the George Foreman Grill on high if your model has this option. Place the drip tray in front of the grill. Remove the chicken from the fridge.
- When the grill is ready, take the chicken from the plastic or Ziploc bag and place chicken breasts on the grill. Close the lid.
- Cook the chicken for 5 minutes. Using a meat thermometer check that the internal temperature is 165 degrees F. Continue cooking until the temperature is reached. If you like, after 3 minutes open the lid and move the chicken breasts a ¼ turn for crisscross grill marks.
- When done, remove the chicken breasts from the grill being careful because the food will be hot. Place breasts on a serving plate.
- Turn off the grill by pulling the plug or by pressing the on/off power button if your model has this feature.
- Let the chicken breasts rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to be reabsorbed back into the meat.
- Serve the chicken breasts with your favorite side dishes.
