Mediterranean barbecue chicken

Are you a chicken barbecue lover? Well, I certainly am. Chicken is unique in that it absorbs all the wonderful tastes of your sauces, and is able to effortlessly blend the delicious tastes into a low-fat healthy meal that is usually so easy to prepare.

I'm usually on a diet anyway, so when I find a great, tasty chicken recipe, I pounce. (If you're looking to lose a few pounds too, I heartily recommend the clinically proven Medifast meal replacement diet. It really works!)

Why not give this easy barbecue chicken recipe a try? It combines the delicious flavors of the eastern Mediterranean basin and memories of warm, sunny beaches. This is a great and tasty recipe, which as you can see from the picture above, I make often because my family loves it so much.

Serving suggestion: Serve with grilled corn or a nice potato salad.
