When you’re constantly cooking on a Kamado grill, it’s incredibly easy to get carried away with really heavy foods such as ribs, burgers, pizza, etc. Personally, as much as I love each of them, I’m not a big fan of that bogged down feeling that inevitably comes in tow…and that’s where this grilled garlic lemon chicken recipe comes into play.
It’s extremely light, especially if you halve the chicken breasts, and the sauce created when the garlic fuses with the lemon gives the dish a savory citrus tang that’ll satisfy just about anyone.
