Grecian Chicken

As Dusty and I sorted through Jane’s recipe collection, we were very surprised to find four recipe cards for this flavorful chicken dish! Since all the recipes were virtually exactly the same, we assumed that this must have been one of her favorites! Even though neither Dusty or I remember Jane preparing and serving this recipe, we felt compelled to give it a try and we’re really glad that we did! The grilled chicken is moist, tender, and juicy! Delicious!
