This recipe is a simple but tasty way to prepare chicken using ingredients that you probably already have on hand. It is a great go-to meal for weeknight dinners. Simply make the marinade the night before and the only thing left to do the next day is to put the chicken on the grill. For the best flavor, use fresh herbs. The rosemary could be switched out for fresh thyme or oregano – whatever is available.
