Perfect Lemon-Garlic Chicken Marinade image

I put this together when I was making some other Lebanese dishes, and I wanted chicken, but wasn't sure how I was going to make it. So this is what I came up with. One of the ingredients is Sumac- can find in middle eastern markets for sure. Its a dark red spice, that adds a lemony flavor. Its so very good. I like to make this chicken and serve it with Tabouli and Hummus. But I think it would be great with just about anything you choose to serve it with.

Time 30m

Yield 2-4 breasts of chicken-if butterflied, 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 chicken breasts
4 -5 garlic cloves, crushed
2 -3 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon sumac
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 storage size ziploc bag

Steps:

  • If chicken breasts are boneless and thick, I think they turn out better butterflied.
  • Peel garlic and crush using a mortar/pestol with a little salt (makes crushing garlic easier) or buy garlic already crushed and place in a small bowl.
  • Add lemon juice, olive oil, and sumac, and salt if you bought crushed garlic.
  • Mix together.
  • Place chicken in ziploc bag, add mixture from bowl. Make sure chicken is coated, seal bag and then place in refrigerator.
  • I think it tastes best when marinated for at least 4 hours. But I 'm sure less is fine too.
  • Grill chicken until done.
