4 THICK SLICES COUNTRY BREAD

HEAT GRILL TO HIGH; LIGHTLY OIL GRATES.  MINCE 1 GARLIC CLOVE, AND PLACE IN A SHALLOW DISH.   ADD LEMON JUICE AND 1 TBL OIL; SEASON WITH SALT AND PEPPER.  ADD CHICKEN, AND TOSS TO COAT.  LET STAND AT ROOM TEMPERATURE AT LEAST 5 MINUTES (AND UP TO 30 MINUTES.)

Yummy…we’re going to have grilled lemon chicken sandwiches tomorrow with pesto spread on the leftover bread.
