Looking for a few good tried and true chicken recipes that can be used for outdoor dinners. We’re trying to?
stay away from red meat but my imagination is lacking when it comes to chicken. I’d prefer not to do the whole bird, just working with boneless breasts and it doesn’t have to be grilled.

Here is a very simple recipe for marinated grilled boneless skinless chicken breast.
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
3/4 barbecue sauce
1/4 cup lime juice
1 pkg. taco seasoning mix
Mix barbeque sauce, lime juice and taco seasoning and put in zip lock baggie, place raw chicken in bag with barbeque mixture and marinate in this mixture for about 8 hours. Cook on hot grill for 15-20 minutes.

I take boneless breasts and slice them in two (to make two thinner pieces) and marinate them in a zip-loc bag for 24 hours before cooking them on the grill. I marinate them usually in Italian dressing, terriyaki sauce, or barbecue sauce.
Be creative and try different marinades. I have used Cesar dressing before. Try your favorite oil and vinegar based dressing. You will find one that your family loves I’m sure. The key is that chicken takes a long time to marinate. I let them marinate overnight myself.

you could try this:
boil the chicken
when its well done, take it out and dry it with a napkin,
then do a simple sour-sweet sauce.
(mix Sugar, orange juice, vinegar and carrots into a bowl, then reduce the mix in a pan)
pour it into the chicken and voila! an easy elegant oriental chicken.
(it IS sooo easy!)
