Italian Grilled Chicken Breasts

Ever since our helper came back a month ago, I have not set foot on our kitchen to cook. I think the longest time I went there to cook was just to cook some hotdogs and eggs for my kids. And when I need to reheat our meal for the night.

I noticed that we need to add variety to the meals we eat because my husband has been complaining that what we ate last week is what he is still eating the next week. Plus I noticed the kids get tired of eating the same food all the time so I’m on the look out for new recipes. Thankfully, I don’t need to buy recipe books because there is so many recipes I can search on the web, most especially at SandyandSue.com. We love Italian (pasta) and American (burgers, steaks, fries) food the best so this site is perfect for us. There is a community at the site where I can ask questions about food and members can share their recipes as well. I have bookmarked the site and will really turn to it if I am running out ideas. Most especially now when we are eating more chicken, less pork and beef (trying to lose weight, as always).

Here is a recipe I saw and will be trying soon:
