Slice the chicken breasts in half for a quicker cook. Add them to a large bowl, add the onions, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, zest, salt and cracked black pepper, massage and mix well into the chicken. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes or up to 24 hours max.
Once the lemon pepper chicken has had a bit to marinate, start the rice or any veggie sides you are serving.
Cook the chicken. For the grill; add it to a preheated grill (400º) on medium heat. cook for about 15-18 minutes flipping halfway through at least once. Be sure to cook until internal temp reaches 165ºF. I find flip the breasts a few times makes an even cook on the grill. For The Oven; Preheat to 375ºF add the chicken to a sheet pan, add the onions and garlic if desired. Bake for about 18-20 minutes or internal temp reaches 165ºF.
Let the chicken rest for a bit. Add any additional zest, lemon juice or cracked pepper if desired. (see notes for a little extra tip on flavor) Serve and enjoy!
