I love cooking summer food! AKA…the grill! What is better and easier than firing up the grill for a simple meal of protein and vegetables!? So simple and fast…great for a hot day when you do not want to heat up the kitchen or for a day at the pool and not much time in the evening!
Grilling chicken is not hard. It only takes a little forethought in making a marinade. Granted, you don’t have to marinate chicken, but it is oh…so….good….if you do!
This recipe is one of my family’s favorite! I’ve adapted it from What Else Is To Eat by Linda Marienhoff Coss.
