This is the time of year I love to get out of the kitchen and grill our meals outside.  It’s fast, easy and it keeps the heat out of the house! Try this chicken recipe this weekend.    You can serve this with a side salad and your favorite veggies such as cauliflower, broccoli & carrots, or asparagus.  Enjoy!
