Grilled Lemon Chicken

Whether you grill outside or broil inside, the results will be great.

Ingredients:

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
½ teaspoon dried leaf oregano
¼ teaspoon sweet paprika
2 tablespoons olive or canola oil
¼ cup chopped onion
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 tomato, chopped
3 oz mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Place chicken in a nonmetal bowl. Mix lemon juice, lemon peel, oregano, and paprika. Pour over chicken; turn pieces, cover, and refrigerate 1 hour.

Preheat grill or broiler. Heat oil in an 8 inch skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and sauté until softened. Stir in tomato and set aside.

Grill or broil chicken until cooked through, about 20 minutes; turning as needed. Remove chicken from grill; place cheese and basil on top. Spoon tomato mixture over cheese. Return to grill or broiler; heat until cheese melts. Sprinkle with chopped parsley. Serve at once. Makes 4 servings.
