Tuscan Lemon Chicken

Bought some chicken and needed an easy dish that I had everything so I didn't have to go to the grocery store.  This recipe fit the bill.  You are suppose to grill the chicken, but I decided not to worry about setting-up the grill since the propane was not hooked-up to the grill.  It was delicious, but next time I will grill it.

Ingredients:
1 (3 1/2 pound) chicken, flattened
Kosher salt
1/3 cup olive oil
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest (2 lemons)
1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon minced garlic (3 cloves)
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary leaves
Freshly ground black pepper
1 lemon, halved
Directions:
Sprinkle the chicken with 1 teaspoon salt on each side. Combine the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, rosemary, and 2 teaspoons pepper in a small measuring cup. Place the chicken in a ceramic glass dish just large enough to hold it flat. Pour the lemon marinade over the chicken, turning it in the dish. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Turn the chicken 2-3 times while marinating. I didn't have a whole chicken and used chicken breasts without the skin. I'm sure the skin would have made it even better, but skinless is healthier and thus what I buy.

When ready to grill, prepare a hot charcoal fire on 1 side of a grill (or turn a gas grill on low heat). Spread 1/4 of the coals across the other side of the grill. Place the chicken on the cooler side, skin side up, and weigh it down with the dish you used for marinating. Cook for 12-15 minutes, until the underside is golden brown. Turn the chicken skin side down, weight again with the dish, and cook for another 12-15 minutes, until the skin is golden brown and the chicken is cooked through. Place the lemon halves on the cool side of the grill, cut side down for the last 10 minutes of cooking. Remove the chicken to a plate or cutting board, cover with aluminum foil, and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Cut in quarters, sprinkle with salt, and serve with the grilled lemon halves.
