great and easy, Member Pinky0011

I made this chicken recipe and it came out tasty. It may be a bit lemony to some but my husband said it was restaurant quality. I marinade for around 4 hours and grilled three chicken breasts for about 18 min and turned them every 3 min. They came out moist and not charred. It was quick and easy. thank you for the great ideas
