GRILLED HERB-MARINATED CHICKEN BREASTS



Grilled Herb-marinated Chicken Breasts image

The key to moist grilled chicken is leaving the skin on during cooking. Some people are reluctant to do this because they think it will increase the fat calories in the finished dish. But the fact of the matter is that, if you remove the skin before eating the chicken, you'll reap the best of both worlds: juicy chicken without significantly more fat than if you'd removed the skin before grilling. Cooking time does not enclude 6 hours marinading time.

The Dijon mayonnaise makes this grilled chicken moist and flavorful. Even though I learned to cook when I was young, and helped make supper for our family, I didn't really enjoy it until now. My husband appreciates my new interest in finding and trying new recipes!

ARMENIAN HERB MARINADE GRILLED CHICKEN BREASTS



Armenian Herb Marinade Grilled Chicken Breasts image

This is THE most AWESOME grill marinade I've ever tasted in my life! I don't know where my Mom got this, but there is no match that I've ever known of...it is simplicity and freshness, yet rich, robust and succulent! I haven't told you this one yet, because I was entering it in a grilling contest for a Weber grill, but I can't hold back any longer! It is wonderful for chicken breasts and also for lamb. My Mom used to make chicken and lamb kabobs with this marinade and we always wanted more!!! NOTE: Prep time does not include the 24-48 hours marinating time. UPDATE: My grill has died....So in desperation to taste this chicken again, I tried Bobo3039's suggestion about baking it in a 350 degree oven...Results were wonderful!!! (Still missed that charcoal essence, but one must "roll with the punches" and make do...In this case, Bobo3039 was right on the money!)
