Grilled Greek Chicken

Grilled Greek Chicken

 

 We braved the cold this past weekend and grilled up some fabulous chicken.  We have really been into lemon lately, and this chicken is no different.  It is marinated in olive oil and lemon juice and seasoned with Greek flavors.  We let the chicken marinate in the fridge overnight.  This chicken was juicy and extremely flavorful.  It had a nice tanginess from the lemon juice.  We served it with some rice and lima beans (not sure how Greek that is, but oh well).  This was a simple dinner that really hit the spot on a cold and wet Saturday night.
