Salty, yet sweet and tangy, the marinade for this dish hits all the right notes for summer.
The weather is wonderful here today so I decided to head out to the grill again. I love this marinade recipe. It is both sweet and salty, yum! Next time I make it I am going to try the sugarfree preserves on this and see how that works.
I grilled half chicken breasts so be sure to check your weight for the points. We had sweet potatoes and roasted asparagus as the sides with this. This is definitely a make again recipe and I can’t wait to try this marinade with other meats and fish.
