Notes of citrus have a way of brightening almost any food. I love the bright citrus flavor of lemon, combined with the savory sage. My recipe this month is a Chicken with Lemon and Sage. The recipe is HERE on Cooking Light.
I modified it a bit... and it is a winner!
Chicken with Lemon and Sage
4 chicken breasts
1 Tbs grated lemon zest
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup white wine
1/4 cup minced fresh sage leaves
1 Tbs olive oil
2 tsp paprika
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 large garlic cloves, minced
1/2 tsp kosher salt
Combine lemon zest and next 7 ingredients (through garlic) in a small bowl. Place juice mixture in a large zip-top plastic bag. Add chicken to bag; seal and marinate in refrigerator 1 hour. (As I was making the marinade I put some in a small boiler and reduced it for a thick citrusy sauce)

Remove chicken from bag, and discard marinade. Sprinkle chicken evenly with salt.Prepare grill to medium-high heat.
Place chicken on grill rack, grill over direct heat 15 minutes, turning once. Move to indirect heat and cook until a thermometer registers 165°.

Lemon makes anything perfect for me.....I can't tell you how many lemons I use every week. Most of them are squeezed into my water but some get eaten...I've always loved them!
I love the flavors of lemon and chicken together. Plus, I'm a huge fan of lemon, period. Perfect main dish showcasing citrus.
Yeah!Chicken & Lemon are a good couple! perfect composition!
Sandi, what a perfect entree for this month's citrus theme! Chicken, lemon, and garlic? So perfect together! I've got to make this and add it to my lighter chicken recipes that I'm always trying to find! I really enjoyed this month's theme and recipes from everyone! Cheers, Roz
