Lemon Herb Grilled Chicken
From The Kitchen · a prep-ahead staple
A Set-the-Week staple — make once, eat all week.
This is the chicken I use in bowls, salads, wraps, and pasta. It's simple, juicy, and never boring.
Prep-ahead: marinate first with the Greek chicken marinade — it keeps two weeks in the fridge.

Gina's tip
Make extra for lunches all week.
Coach's Note
Grill four when you only need two. Tomorrow's lunch is one less thing to figure out, and that's the whole point of cooking ahead.
I hope this recipe finds a place in your kitchen as it has in mine. Enjoy!
