Very Moist Grilled Chicken

Submitted by cchampion1974

"I was really surprised at how moist and juicy this chicken turns out. I found it through cooking light and made a few changes. It's so easy to prepare, I fall back on it all the time when I don't want to mess with preparing a detailed marinade."

Super recipe! I usually don't like the dryness of grilled chicken and this was the most moist chicken ever. I used boneless, skinless chicken breast. I did not find it bland at all. It had a great garlic flavor!

This was very good. I didn't get to marinade it more than an hour though. Next time I will definately plan ahead. It had a great flavor. I made on the grill and it was nice and juicy. DH was very happy with the results. I made this for PAC 2009

My DH was thrilled with this recipe. Thought it had lots of flavor. Only marinated for 2 hours. Grilled it on our Griddler by Cuisinart. The chicken came out very moist. Served it with Orzo with Parmesan and Basil 79431. Made for a nice dinner.

This came out very moist, but was very bland in flavor. I'll use this method again, but will add more flavoring. Thanks for posting.
