Grilled Lemon Chicken with Lemon Mint Sauce
I just love the Lemon flavor, it is always so fresh and just enhances the flavor of any dish. I also love the Lemon and Mint combination, it is a great flavor. We have several area's in our gardens where the mint is growing, it always smells wonderful. The Grilled Lemon Chicken with Lemon Mint Sauce is a recipe that I developed after bringing a bunch of mint in the kitchen from the garden. "Honey Bunny" wants to know when we can make it again, we really enjoyed it and sure hope you do too.
Enjoy!
