Lemon pepper chicken with grilled cabbage

How does boneless chicken breast marinaded in fresh lemon an pepper sound?  Sounded like a good idea when I thought of it.  Also on the menu is grilled cabbage, it is not just for making coleslaw.

Lemon pepper marinade:

• large lemon
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 large clove garlic
• fresh basil
• fresh ground pepper

Take the lemon and use your zester to get some of the zest.  You don't need much, 1/4 tsp at most.  Juice the lime and add olive oil.  Chop and mince the garlic and a fresh basil leaf then add to the mix.  Add about 1/2 tbsp of fresh ground pepper and stir the marinade well.  This will make enough marinade for about 2 - 11-12oz chicken breasts.  Put the breasts in a large Ziploc bag and then pour in the marinade.  Shake the bag well so all parts of the meat is covered.  Put in fridge for 1-3 hours. 

Prepare the Cabbage:

• 1 head cabbage
• olive oil
• lemon juice
• fresh ground pepper

Quarter the head of cabbage.  Take off the first couple of outer leaves.  Drizzel some olive oil on the cabbage wedge allowing it to get into the leaves.  Brush the rest of the wedge with your fingers.  Put a liberal amount of lemon juice over the cabbage as well.  Season with pepper.

Directions for the cook:

1. Start your grill and set it up for 2 heat zones, direct and indirect.
2. When coals have started put your cabbage in the indirect area of the grill.  These will take 20-45 minutes depending on the size of the cabbage you buy.  Put the lid on and they are about done when you get a little char on the leaves.
3. At this point it is time to put on the chicken.  Grill until nicely done.
4. Plate it and serve.
