Add a side of veggies or a salad and dinner is done!
I can appreciate a quick and light dinner. It seems like by the time I get home, sort through the mail, empty backpack and lunchboxes, help with homework, and do a little housework, it is already 6:00pm and dinner is far from ready.
I, for one, am not a fan of eating dinner late. I like to have it on the table, eaten and cleaned up by 7:30pm. A lofty goal, I know, but an attainable one if you plan ahead.
I try to map out a few dinner ideas before I start each new week. It helps to keep me on track and also helps when I go to the grocery store or the farmers market. If I go with a meal plan and a list I tend to not over buy!
As for this recipe, start the simple marinade the night before so that when you get home you can simply place the chicken in the oven or on the grill.
