Lemon Chicken

I created this marinade after reading a bunch of lemon chicken recipes online to get inspiration.

2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp olive oil
1 clove of garlic, minced
1/4 tsp favorite spice(s) (I use sage and basil)

Combine all ingredients in a gallon-size Ziploc bag. Add 4 chicken breasts (frozen chicken should be at least partially thawed) and seal bag. Turn bag and move chicken around to make sure the marinade is evenly distributed. There will be only a small amount of liquid. Let sit for at least 30 minutes, turning occasionally.

Lift the chicken from the marinade and cook on the grill or pan fry with a little olive oil. Do not add the excess marinade to the pan because that makes the lemon flavor too strong.
