This month’s Secret Recipe Club assignment was to make a recipe from Concetta’s Cafe. Concetta makes so many great desserts and takes beautiful pictures of them all! Don’t even ask me how I was able to constrain myself from making one…
The recipe I DID choose turned out to be a wonderful meal. The Lemon Herb Chicken was incredibly juicy and so flavorful. It is easy enough to make on a weeknight but elegant enough to present to guests at a dinner party. The lemon flavor came through nicely and the garlic and herbs were a perfect complement.

Ingredients:
6 chicken breasts
2 tbsp olive oil
2 lemons, zested and juiced
2 garlic cloves, minced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tbsp fresh rosemary
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped,  plus more for garnish
1 lemon, sliced

Directions:
Season chicken cutlets with olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice and remaining ingredients, except for the 1 sliced lemon. Let chicken marinate in fridge for 4-24 hours. Grill chicken on medium-high heat until cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Place on a platter and sprinkle with fresh parsley and lemon slices.

I served this chicken for dinner with pasta and pesto sauce. I am allergic to pine nuts so I omit those from my pesto, but just add more Parmesan cheese instead. Cheese makes everything better! If you want my pesto recipe, e-mail me on the side!

    Yum! The recipe looks great. We usually add walnuts to our pesto since pine nuts can get so expensive.

    Did you grab the wrong Linky? It isn't the group C recipe list. :)
