What You Need:

• ⅔ cup mayonnaise
• zest of ½ lemon
• ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
• 1 large garlic clove, crushed or grated
• 8 boneless and skinless chicken breast halves, pounded thin
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

How to Make It:

1. Prepare sauce:  Whisk together the first 5 ingredients and set aside.
2. Prepare chicken:  Place a chicken breast half between heavy plastic wrap or inside a plastic food bag.  Lightly pound with the flat side of a meat mallet or the bottom of a small cast iron pan, pounding lightly and working your way from the center to the edge until meat is about ½ inch thick.  Salt and pepper each chicken breast. 
3. Lightly oil grill grate or rack and set grill temperature to medium-high.
4. When grill is up to temperature, arrange the chicken on the grill and bring the sauce out. 
5. Cook for about 3 to 4 minutes or until you have nice grill marks on the chicken.
6. Flip and brush the cooked side with sauce, leaving the chicken on the grill for about 3 or 4 minutes more.
7. Flip and again brush the top with sauce and leave the chicken on the grill this time for about 1 or 2 minutes more. Chicken should feel firm when squeezed with tongs.
8. Remove from grill and let sit for 3 or 4 minutes before cutting and serving.
