In my house, we use our grill several nights a week during the spring and summer. There’s just something amazing about the taste of grilled food during the warmer months. Another benefit is that we don’t have to use our oven and heat up the house!

How long do you cook chicken on the grill?
Chicken tends to dry out very quickly. I have had dry, over cooked chicken and many times in the past, and it just isn’t good. However, you definitely want to make sure you cook chicken all the way through. An easy way to know when your chicken is cooked through is by using a meat thermometer. It should reach a temperature of 165 degrees.
What do you eat lemon chicken with?
Lemon chicken can be served with a variety of side dishes. Some of my favorites are roasted garlic potatoes, sweet potatoes, and wild rice. These grilled lemon chicken strips would also be absolutely delicious served on a salad! And for dessert, serve a delicious granola fruit crisp!
