Lemon-Garlic Chicken

Ingredients
Ingredient Checklist
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (1 to 1 1/4 pounds total)
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, finely minced (see Tip)
1 ounce Parmesan cheese, finely shredded (see Tip)
1 teaspoon finely shredded lemon peel
1 tablespoon snipped fresh sage
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper or cracked black pepper

Step 1
Place each chicken breast half between two pieces of plastic wrap. Using the flat side of a meat mallet, pound each lightly until an even thickness (about 1/2 inch). Remove plastic wrap.

Step 2
In a large resealable plastic bag, combine lemon juice, oil and garlic. Add chicken. Seal bag; turn to coat chicken. Marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours, turning bag once or twice.

Step 3
Preheat broiler. Place chicken on the unheated rack of a foil-lined broiler pan. Broil 4 to 5 inches from the heat for 10 to 12 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink (170 degrees F), turning once halfway through broiling and sprinkling with cheese for the last minute of broiling.

Step 4
In a small bowl, combine lemon peel, sage and pepper. Sprinkle over chicken just before serving
