Lemon Herb Marinated Chicken

Delicious! We’ve had this at the Meyers camp several times. It’s juicy, tender, and flavorful. Serve with some wild rice or rice pilaf and a light salad. You can also slice up the meat and use it to top off a green salad. It makes a wonderful light meal.

There is a family joke that goes with this recipe. According to my father in law, you cook the chicken on a medium grill through three martinis.
