LEMON PEPPER MESQUITE GRILLED CHICKEN (SOUTHWEST)
This is a very easy recipe that produces spectacular results. The citrus juice tenderizes and the lemon flavor, combined with the mesquite is to die for. This works with any cut of chicken--breasts to wings. Prep time does not include time to marinate.
