2 or 3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
Juice from two lemons, pulp included with seeds removed
Olive oil
Your favorite Greek or Mediterranean Seasoning

Mix equal amount of olive oil to lemon juice in a gallon freezer ziplock bag. Add seasoning. Squish bag until juice and oil blend together. Add chicken and squeeze out air then lock bag. Move chicken around so all sides are coated in marinade and toss bag into frig for 2 hours.

Now is a good time to make a salad and place in frig so it's ready to go when the chicken is done.

About an hour before the chicken is done marinating crack open a bottle of good wine to sip. Next, get rice pilaf going and have someone you trust take over the rice while you make your way out to the egg. Build a nice fire, direct with raised grid setup with a little pecan smokin wood.

Ok, the fire is good at 375-400 dome and the chicken is ready to go on after marinating for 2 hours. Grill direct flipping every 10 minutes for about 25 minutes or until breasts are 160 degrees internal. If you like....reduce reserve marinade with a quick simmering in a small pan and spoon over chicken at the table for extra flavor.

Bed chicken on rice pilaf, garnish with fresh parsley, Italian dressing on salad and refresh wine glasses. Enjoy!

    Yup, cold. Tomatoes just are not ripening up, sweet corn way behind, cold nights for months. Just started to warm up last couple of days but to little to late.
    State Fair in West Allis near Milwaukee was a blast, saw an egg at one of the venders, Rupena's, they was grilling huge kilbasas on it while pigs and chickens were turning on spits over lump charcoal. I stood down wind and it was intoxicating. It's all about the food and beer.(cute chicks too) Gosh I saw more tattoos in places never thought possible. :whistle: One tent was dedicated to local micro brews, all kinds and unpasturized. Oh boy. Thought I was gonna bust. :woohoo: :huh: :P :laugh:
    Hope your summer is going well Tom.
