This cheesy chicken pot pie is the best meat pie I’ve ever had because I adore cheese, so I experimented. Any leftover turkey or chicken can be used in this dish. Normally, it can feed six people.

Ingredients
- ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 medium lemons, zested and juiced
- 5 sprigs fresh rosemary, leaves stripped and finely chopped
- 5 sprigs Fresh Sage
- 3 cloves garlic, smashed and finely chopped
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 8 (5 ounce) chicken thighs, trimmed
- kosher salt to taste
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, or to taste
- 2 medium lemons
Instructions
- Zest and juice 4 lemons; reserve remaining 2 whole.
- Combine olive oil, lemon zest and juice, rosemary, sage, garlic, and crushed red pepper for marinade in a small bowl. Whisk to combine.
- Place chicken thighs in a single layer in a wide, flat dish. Add the herb mixture and massage to coat. Cover and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and brush off any excess herbs and oil. Season generously with salt and drizzle with olive oil.
- Cut the 2 whole lemons in half and cut the tips off of the ends; this will allow the lemons to stand up without rolling around.
- Place the chicken, skin side-down, on the preheated grill. Grill chicken for 3 to 4 minutes, then rotate 90 degrees to create a crosshatch pattern. Grill another 3 to 4 minutes, then turn and grill until no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, 4 to 5 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
- At the same time, grill the lemons, flesh-side down, alongside the chicken, until caramelized. Flip over to grill on the bottom, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve with grilled chicken.
- If doing a quick marinade, leave the chicken out of the refrigerator for up to 1 hour.
Reviews
We love lemon, so this recipe was tasty. When grilling, watch chicken carefully or it will burn. I set the temperature at 350 degrees and grilled 20 minutes turning over every five minutes . The time on the bbq will depend on how big your chicken thighs are.
Lemon and chicken is always the winner, it was delicious?
