Best Grilled Chicken 

Ever feel like your eating plan is slightly off track? (or completely derailed?)  That's pretty much how I feel most days.  Sometimes if I find myself getting into bad eating habits, all it takes is one super healthy - quality meal to get me back on the right track.  

There is no better "get me back on track" dinner to me than a delicious, juicy grilled chicken breast with a side of baked sweet potatoes fries and a green salad.  Protein, leafy vegetables and a starchy vegetable a perfect well balanced dinner.  

This meal just goes to show that a healthy dinner doesn't have to take a great deal of time or preparation.  I little planning goes a long way for this meal.  Spending a few extra minutes in the morning to get the chicken ready to grill will pay off when your getting hungry for dinner and tempted to snack on some not-so-nutritious junk food.  My trick is to use thin sliced chicken breasts that cook in about 10 minutes.  

Best Grilled Chicken
1/4 cup cider vinegar
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 lime, juiced
1/2 lemon, juiced
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
ground black pepper to taste
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

Combine all ingredients, except chicken, in a ziploc bag.  

​Add chicken and refrigerate 2-24 hours. 

Remove from marinade and grill.

Let chicken rest 10 minutes. 

Serve with your favorite vegetables.  

Eating this dinner made me feel like I hit my own personal eating habits reset button.  I loved this dinner and if this is what healthy tastes like - I can definitely get into some better "healthy" eating habits.  As warmer weather approaches, you may want to fire up your own grill and give this yummy dinner a try.

Ciao!
