Our Favorite Healthy Chicken Marinade
Grilling season is short here in Minnesota, so we take FULL advantage. I am a sucker for grilled chicken, probably my favorite thing to throw on the grill. So, naturally, I had to come up with a sensational marinade. This one is a winner! Plus, it uses very few ingredients, so it’s easy to whip up a healthy chicken marinade in no time at all!
