Simple Yet Gourmet

With summer in full swing, I am always looking for healthy meals without tuning on the oven!   When I came across this recipe last week I knew I would have to give it a try.  One thing I would change was the amount of time I marinated he chicken.  I only marinated it for about 4 hours and it needed to more time for more flavor, I suggest overnight.  The dressing is light and refreshing and a snap to make.  Feel free to add any other veggies your family might like.  Quick, easy and healthy, plus little to clean up, what more could you ask for!

I don't recall exactly when I jumped on the marinating bandwagon, but I almost never grill meat cuts of meat without marinating it first.  You just can't beat the flavor!  This particular recipe was given to me by my Uncle Brett.  His family likes it so much they have this in the place of a Thanksgiving Turkey!  This marinade is great for turkey breasts, but can also be used on chicken with great results.

With summer just around the corner, I am always on the hunt for some delicious and easy ideas for the grill.  I love to cook rather simple in the summer and use the grill as much as possible to help with the heat!  This recipe is fantastic!  I always hate when I get a recipe out and they say "allow 24 hours to marinate."  This recipe can take that long, but is great with just an hour.  Mike was in love with this dish and has asked for it again and again.  We made a big salad and fresh roll with is meal, but I think next time we need some grilled veggies as well.  This is a keeper and I am sure we will be grilling these again soon!  Enjoy.

My sister in law Summer was the one to find this great recipe.  Simple, quick and flavorful, my kind of meal.  Like my brother Eric, Mike really liked this as well.  Summer did suggest marinating the chicken in the dressing for a while before cooking it, I would agree.

I have been on the hunt for healthy dinner options as well as different things to eat.  This is one of my new favorite dinners.  I had everything done before the kids came home from school and just grilled the chicken before we were ready to eat.
