Grilled Chicken

My watermelon plant has started to take off with all of the rain that we had last week and I'm super excited about all of the juicy watermelon that we are going to harvest from our garden this summer.  So excited in fact, that I couldn't wait another 6 weeks for my watermelon to grow - sooo, I had to buy one at the grocery store to hold me over.

A perfect summertime meal for me is a grilled chicken breast, a green salad and a slice of watermelon for dessert.  YUM!!!  I love this menu because it's simple and easy to prepare - perfect for busy summer nights.  This no fuss chicken is delicious AND it pairs perfectly with a giant slice of ice cold watermelon. 

Grilled Chicken
3 Tablespoons canola oil
3 Tablespoons water
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 Tablespoon sugar
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Whisk together oil, water, garlic, salt, pepper and sugar in a ziploc bag.

Add chicken to bag.  Refrigerate 1-12 hours.

Remove chicken from bag and place on a hot grill.  Cook until internal temperature registers 165.

Remove from grill, cover and let rest 10 minutes.

Serve with salad and watermelon for a perfect summertime meal.

Summer grilling has never been easier.  You and your family are going to love this meal. 

Ciao!
