Grilled Peppercorn Chicken

This recipe is extremely easy, and very quick. For best results, to allow 1-2 hours for the chicken to marinate; if you don't have that long, then cut slits into the chicken and marinate in fridge for at least a half an hour.




This recipe goes very well with the Mushroom Risotto (vegan), and a vegetable side.

Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs chicken breast
  • 2 tbs olive oil or extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbs garlic powder (or 2 fresh garlic cloves)
  • 1 tbs fresh ground peppercorn
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 ziploc (type) baggie to marinate



Directions:

1: Take olive oil,  garlic powder, salt and peppercorn, put in the ziploc baggie. Shake to mix. Add chicken, and place in fridge. Allow 1 to 2 hours to marinate. (If short on time, cut slits in the chicken, and marinate for 30 minutes).

2: Heat grill (I use a George Foreman Grill, iz AWESOME). Place chicken breasts on grill, and cook 5 - 6 minutes on each side, or juices run clear. (if you have a food thermometer, make sure the internal temp is 165 °F).

3: Serve. This goes well with rice sides, and goes very well diced in salads!
