This is a nice change of pace. The marinade was spread over the chicken and allowed to sit in the fridge for several hours. As suggested, the chicken was grilled. This was served with Easy Roasted Veggies. Made for *PAC Spring 2009*

Fast and easy using some of my favourite ingredients. I think that other herbs could be used too in place of the sage for a different flavour for a change. A 'keeper'in my book :)

We really enjoyed this change of pace for our chicken, & I think what did it for me was the combo of FRESH sage, lime juice & mustard, 'cause it made for a very exceptional marinade, I thought! This is a keeper recipe, for sure! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Make My Recipe]
