Lemon and Mint Herb Chicken
"Nice light chicken with a slight taste of Lemons and mint. At first when I started experimenting with the fresh mint in my backyard I wasn't sure this would turn out, but we BBQ'd the first try and it was a hit! When I cook I don't really measure unless I'm making something from a recipe so measure of the ingredients should be taken with a grain of salt. Prep time doesn't include the marinating."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am just realizing that I am a good cook *blush* Most of my recipes are in my head and passed down from my mother. I love trying new foods and recipes . I'm glad that my family loves my experiments as I call them. My partner can not eat dairy and high sugary foods so it is always a task to find something that meets those requirements and that the whole family will enjoy.
