Mediterranean Grilled Chicken

This is a great dinner recipe that is easy to pull together and so delicious! You marinate the chicken in the morning before you start your day, and then grill it just before dinner while cooking down the marinade to serve as the sauce, all in just a few minutes! Here's my family recipe for Mediterranean Grilled Chicken!

Before placing your chicken breasts on the grill, make sure that you have cleaned and oiled the grate- otherwise, your chicken will stick (I ball-up a paper towel, dip it in vegetable oil and then use tongs to wipe the oil over the grate).

You'll want to use an instant-read thermometer to test that your chicken is done (or do as I do and cut into the center of the breast to make sure it is cooked all the way through!)
