For the chicken:
In a small bowl stir together chicken broth, lemon peel, lemon juice, 1 tablespoon thyme, and pepper. Pour over chicken. Seal bag. Allow the chicken to marinate in the refrigerator for about 1-2 hours. Turn the bag occasionally so the chicken is marinated evenly. Drain chicken, reserving marinade.
Grill chicken on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals for 12 to 15 minutes or until no longer pink. Turn and brush with marinade halfway through grilling. (Discard any remaining marinade.)
