Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and measured out. This will help the cooking process go smoothly.
- Choose the Right Chicken: For this recipe, it is best to use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs. If you are using chicken breasts, you may need to pound them thin so that they cook evenly.
- Marinate the Chicken: Marinating the chicken in the lemon-garlic mixture for at least 30 minutes will help to infuse it with flavor. If you have more time, you can marinate the chicken for up to overnight.
- Cook the Chicken Over Medium Heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out. You can cook the chicken in a grill pan, on an outdoor grill, or in a baking dish in the oven.
- Use a Meat Thermometer: To ensure that the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Serve Immediately: Grilled lemon-garlic chicken is best served hot off the grill. You can serve it with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a salad.
Conclusion:
Grilled lemon-garlic chicken with leeks and potatoes is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, and the leeks and potatoes are perfectly roasted. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
