Ingredients

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon coarsely ground black pepper
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 whole boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 2 1/4 pounds), halved
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
2 large garlic cloves, minced

  2. Prepare grill.
  3. Grill chicken on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals until just cooked through, about 2 minutes on each side.
  4. Serve chicken sprinkled with gremolata and garnished with lemon and thyme.
  5. In a small bowl stir together gremolata ingredients.
