Lemon-Grilled Chicken Breasts

Grilled out tonight.  The porcelain grill grates on our propane gas grill had started to rust, so I bought some Grill Grates to put on top of those.  This was my first time grilling with my new Grill Grates, and I was very pleased with how they worked.  I did roasted vegetables and lemon-grilled chicken breasts, http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/lemon-grilled-chicken-breasts-10000001823354/

Needed to make some of these when our grill was out of propane, and I found this oven baked lemon chicken breasts recipe that worked out well  - http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/lemon-chicken-breasts-recipe.html.  I used them in both SW Chicken Salad and the Chicken, Farro, Green Beans, Corn, and Goat Cheese recipe (I didn't have any green beans, so I used mixed vegetables, and that worked well, too.)

INGREDIENTS
3 Tbsp fresh-squeezed lemon juice (juice from 1 lemon)
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
4-7 chicken breast halves
Salt and pepper to taste
Cooking spray (optional, depending on how seasoned your grill is)

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
In large plastic storage bag, mix together lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, and chicken.  Let marinate in refrigerator at least 30 minutes, turning the bag several times.
Preheat grill to medium-high heat.  Remove chicken from bag and discard marinade.  Salt and pepper the chicken.  Grill the chicken 6-10 minutes per side.
