Ingredients

  • skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • /2 cup lemon juice
  • /2 teaspoon onion powder
  • ground black pepper to taste
  • seasoning salt to taste
  • teaspoons dried parsley

Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Start by preheating your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oiling the grates to prevent sticking. While the grill heats, pour the lemon juice into a shallow dish. Dip each chicken breast half into the lemon juice, letting the excess drip off, then place them on a plate or tray. I find that using a fork or tongs keeps things tidy. Next, season both sides generously with the onion powder, black pepper, seasoning salt, and dried parsley. Don’t be shy—this is where the flavor comes from. Once the grill is ready, place the chicken breasts directly on the grates. Grill for about 10 to 15 minutes on the first side, depending on thickness. Flip and cook for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the juices run clear. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving

  2. Step 2

    this helps lock in all those tasty juices. Slice against the grain and enjoy with your favorite keto sides.

Chef's Tip

I always pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness before dipping. This ensures they cook uniformly and stay juicy, preventing dry spots on the thinner ends.

Storage Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet with a splash of broth to keep the chicken moist.

Variation Tips

For a spicy version, mix in ½ teaspoon of smoked paprika or chili powder with the seasonings. Another idea: turn it into a keto chicken salad by dicing the leftovers and tossing with mayo, celery, and fresh dill.
