Grilled Lemon Rosemary Chicken

You ever plan out your meals, know exactly what you are going to make and then you see something and scrap all your prior dinner plans for something totally different? That’s what I had to face this week. See, I had every intention of making one recipe, already did most of the prep work for it, had plans to head out to the store to pick up the one missing ingredient I needed and then I turned on my DVR for a spell. Big mistake.

This recipe came together in a flash. I used chicken breasts instead of tenders so they took a bit longer to grill (and you know me with meat thermometers – I used two and neither agreed with the other.) This recipe could also be easily baked and, served over some couscous flavored with a squeeze of lemon, and you have yourself a super quick dinner that is full of lemony flavor. Any leftovers are great in a chicken salad the next day – not that I would ever know anything about that. *whistles*

Seriously, next time you are pondering what’s for dinner and not sure what to prepare, grab some chicken, rosemary and some lemon and get to grilling!
