Boneless, skinless chicken breasts are a staple at our house. 

They’re economical (cheaper than ground beef) and versatile.

In winter they can be adapted to a multitude of sauces and cooking methods, which keeps them interesting.

In summer they cook up quickly on the barbecue grill…..

And, just as quickly, become boring.

Just how many variations on barbecue sauce or Teriyaki sauce can one cook come up with?!?!?

Next time you feel yourself slipping into that rut, try this one: mayonnaise, garlic and soy sauce.

You’ll have a new favorite!

The marinade is quite thick and adds lots of flavor to the chicken.  It also protects it from drying out on the grill. It makes a nice presentation to slice the breasts, thinly, at an angle to serve.
