Ingredients:

Serving

1 lemon , juice of
2 tbsp lemon peel
1/3 cup olive oil
1/8 tsp ground black pepper
1/4 tsp salt
2 tbsp white wine vinegar
3 tbsp chopped fresh basil leaves
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves ( two whole breasts)

Directions:

Grate the lemon peel off of the lemon, and add it to a plastic gallon size sealing bag.
Juice the lemon, and add the juice to the bag.
Add the Olive oil, pepper, salt, white wine vinegar to the bag and mix all of the ingredients thoroughly.
Add the chicken (or shrimp) to the bag, mix it thoroughly, and let marinate for at least one hour, or as long as overnight.
Cook on a grill, under a broiler, or (if the chicken is cut up) in a stirfry. Grill time is about 4-5 minutes per side for chicken.
I like to serve this with rice and a salad with a creamy dressing.
