Grilled Thai Chicken Breasts
We love easy recipes, and this definitely fits the bill! It doesn't get any easier than marinated meat grilled on the BBQ, teamed up with a salad. Looking for a vegetarian option? This marinade works well on tofu or vegetable slices. Simply marinade then grill on the BBQ.
