With swimsuit season usually comes summer grilling. I am so down for that. To honor this new found heat we’ve been having in Southern Utah, I decided a grilled chicken recipe was in need. I have to say, this Grilled Lemon Chicken is one of our absolute favorites to grill. It is both refreshing and summer worthy. What’s more summer worthy than lemon? Nothing. 😉 haha.
This recipe is filled with just the right amounts of lemon, and the hints of garlic and onion sets the bar for this recipe!

This sounds amazing! Can’t wait to try it. Would you suggest the minced onion or a fresh onion?
You can’t go wrong either way! When I do have fresh on hand that is what I use. But I’ve used dried minced onion many times and it’s still so good!
So delicious and flavorful! Definitely a 5-star keeper recipe.
I love lemon chicken ..I love anything lemon lol. I unfortunately don’t own a grill as in an apartment building. Is this recipe workable in the oven?
Yes, you can absolutely bake this in the oven. Bake at 400 degrees F. for 20 to 25 minutes or until internal temperature of chicken reaches 165 degrees. 🙂
