Hi again folks. Today I’ve a recipe which is simply delightful. It makes for good summer fare, and is healthful due to the grilled vegetables component. I particularly like the red pepper sauce:

PREPARATION:
Lightly coat the chicken breast with olive oil, salt and pepper on both sides. Grill over a medium heat, pre-heated char-grill with wood chips added just prior to adding the chicken or a charcoal grill with wood chips added. Grill for 6-7 minutes per side, while flipping it over twice during the grilling; the chicken is done when 165-170°F on a meat thermometer or the juices run clear when pierced with a fork.
