I made this amazing recipe last evening and am already planing another appearance. Super health properties and simply marvelous taste. Love, love! the cinnamon. I wouldn't change a single thing (and that's saying something for me). Very high on the healthy list with taste that will bring you back time and again. Also, super simple marinating and quick grill time make this something that would be perfect for get together for a bigger crowd . -
We really enjoyed this grilled chicken -- love the freshness of the lemon and the cinnamon really adds a great flavor. So easy to make -- served with rice and a side salad. Will definitely make this grilled chicken again. Made for the "For Your Consideration" tag game, September, 2014. -
Made for PRMR! After looking at the ingredients, um usually I do not put cinnamon on chicken. It actually gives it bold flavor and not a cinnamon taste! Thanks for the recipe...

<p>? Hi! My name is Teresa.? My husband and I like to take RV trips but it seems lately we just us it for vintage motorcross races. I enjoy hiking, snowshoeing, have done some rock climbing but age is creeping up on my poor old bones. Anything to do with the outdoors I enjoy, so why do I live in rainy Washington state? We have 2 wonderful children, both grown. My son lives in LA and my daughter and her husband recently moved back in the area with their little boy...our grandson... who just turned?5 years old. We have a granddaughter who lives close by...she just turned 23 this year. She's a sweetheart.? Life is good when you have a son and a?daughter and they?gift?you with a granddaughter and grandson. :)??</p>
