Lemon Bar-B-Que Chicken Breasts
Lemon Bar-B-Que Chicken Breasts
There is so much attention to what is healthy and best for us to eat. With vegan and vegetarian recipes available in magazines, on the internet, in old and new cookbooks, one gets to feel guilty to even consider poultry. Of course, poultry is still recommended as a good choice. Lemon-Bar-B-Que Chicken is my attempt to slim down a chicken entrée.
Of course the primary ingredient is 2 skinless boneless chicken breasts, cut into 3-4 strips.

Ingredients for the Lemon Bar-B-Que Marinade.
Marinades are to tenderize and flavor the meat. Use containers of glass, stainless steel or plastic bags to marinate, as most marinades contain some acid such as lemon juice, wine, vinegar or fruit juice. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, some recipes will give longer marinating time depending on the cut and size of the meat. Turn or stir the meat in the process of marinating. Some recipes do not use the marinade over the meat while cooking.
