Recipe # 49: Three Lemon chicken

My dear wife and I waited until the very last to make "Chicken and Cherries".  The actual recipe calls for chicken breasts in a marinade made from a bottle of cherry sodapop and a can of bing cherries lemon juice, salt and pepper.  We thought that was too disgusting to imagine, let alone EAT.  So instead, I found a recipe in Weber's Big Book of Grilling which featured chicken breasts and fruit: Three-Lemon Chicken!
You make a paste with minced garlic and the garlic juice, the zest from 2 lemons and the juice from one.  Then  you add some rosemary, salt and pepper and coat the chicken breast with it.  During the last 5 minutes you place slices of lemon on the breasts and let the juice sink in.  It was GREAT!  We had it with potato salad and cole slaw, because as always we had to come up with our own sides.

NEXT IS LAST!  Actually it's not a recipe at all.  Recipe #50 is made with leftovers from Thanksgiving.  It's a hot turkey combination, or as the BOOK calls it, Thanksgiving Sandwich.
