Grilled Lemon Chicken

Typically on the weekends we are away from the house......whether visiting family, making a trip to the "big" city or exploring the outdoors. We take time on Sunday night to slow down and prepare for the upcoming week. I usually write out a schedule of meals for the next 5-7 days and then buy groceries at the commissary on the base.  By the time I get home and unload groceries it seems like we always end up grilling whatever happened to sound good while shopping! This is just a simple marinade recipe that I can easily throw together with basic ingredients. You can also cut the chicken tenders into bite sized chunks, marinade for a few hours and then place onto skewers to grill.....especially yummy along side grilled veggies such as onions and green peppers!
