Amy's Grilled Chicken Breasts

Submitted by Gingerbear

"This recipe is delicious. I have not barbecued these but I have baked these in the oven. The flavors in this recipe are just wonderful and this is also a nice healthy and low fat recipe. The recipe is exported from Mastercook. This is a recipe that you definitely want to be sure and not overcook so the chicken stays moist and juicy. Preparation does not include marinating times."
