4 tbsp. rosemary lemon garlic marinade (see recipe)
Place the chicken strips in a bowl and coat them with the rosemary lemon garlic marinade. Transfer the chicken with the marinade to a sealed plastic bag or container and refrigerate for 20 - 30 minutes before grilling. Heat the grill pan on a medium high heat for 3 minutes. Grill the chicken for about 4 - 6 minutes on each side or until done.

Note: For a more lemony taste, add ¼ to ½ tsp. lemon zest. For finely grated lemon zest, use a microplane or small cheese grater to zest the lemon (take only the top yellow layer off the lemon's outer skin, not the white pithy part). If you want a more mild rosemary flavor, use 1 to 1 ½ Tbsp chopped fresh rosemary instead of 2 Tbsp. and add ¼ - ½ tsp. fresh lemon zest. Use about 1 Tbsp. rosemary lemon garlic marinade to coat about 4 oz. boneless poultry, meat or fish. A little marinade goes a long way. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 20 - 30 minutes. If you want a stronger rosemary lemon garlic taste, marinate it longer.
