Ingredients

cup lemon juice

2/3 cup olive oil

3 springs of rosemary, finely chopped

1 clove of garlic minced

3 tablespoons fresh thyme (use much less if dried)

salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

To make the marinade, I combine all the ingredients in a bowl or container with a tight fitting lid. Shake the bowl vigorously until all the marinade looks homogeneous. That's it! What could be simpler? I usually put the meat into a gallon size ziploc bag, pour in the marinade, then let it sit for however much time I have, at least 30 minutes. As I said, thin bone-in porkchops and thin boneless chicken breasts are my faves for this recipe. Get your BBQ nice and hot, and they cook in a flash. Healthy and delicious!
