Ingredients
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger minced or 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • Kosher salt and ground black pepper
Instructions
  1. Whisk together the fresh lemon juice, soy sauce and ginger.
  2. Season the chicken breasts with the kosher salt and black pepper.
  3. Pour the marinade into a resealable plastic bag and add the chicken. Massage the chicken in the bag and let it refrigerate for an hour or overnight.
  4. Light a charcoal barbeque or heat a gas grill. Lightly oil the grate.
  5. Remove the breasts from the marinade and shake off any excess. Discard the marinade.
  6. Grill the breasts about 6 to 8 minutes per side, or until there is no pink at the center of the breast.

Food For Thought – You can cut some of the tang from the lemon juice by using 1/2 lemon juice and 1/2 orange or lime juice. Apple juice would also balance out the lemon juice.
