Grilled Lemon and Rosemary Chicken

Serve with Grilled Potato Salad.

Ingredients:

1/4 Cup freshly squeezed Lemon Juice (2 lemons)
1/4 Cup Olive Oil, plus more for grill grates and drizzling
1 Tbsp. Dijon Mustard
1 Tbsp. Finely Chopped Fresh Rosemary
3 Cloves Garlic, minced
Kosher Salt, Ground Black Pepper
1 3/4 pounds Chicken Cutlets (8 thin)
1 Lemon, sliced in half, optional
2 Large Handfuls Baby Arugula

Instructions:

Whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, mustard, rosemary, garlic and a big pinch of salt and pepper in a measuring cup. Add chicken to a gallon-size zip top bag or casserole dish and pour the marinade over the chicken. Turn to coat and let the chicken marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes (or 1 hour in the refrigerator). Heat a grill to medium-high. Brush the grill grates with olive oil using a clean tea towel or paper towel. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Place the chicken on the grill and cook until golden and slightly charred, about 3 minutes per side. Place the lemon halves cut-side down on the grill grate and grill until charred, about 4 minutes. Add the arugula to a platter and drizzle very lightly with olive oil. Remove the chicken from the grill and shingle across the bed of arugula. Squeeze some lemon juice over the chicken and serve.
