Grilled Marinara Chicken

I loved the Grilled Salsa Chicken so much. I had to try something similar with marinara and fresh Italian herbs.

It’s a toss up.

They are both just so yum-ilicious!

 

How to Make Grilled Marinara Chicken


Chop the herbs.

Stuff the herbs under the skin on the chicken thighs.

Spoon in some sauce (just like with the salsa in the Grilled Salsa Chicken.) Season with salt and pepper.

Grill until cooked through.

Cook pasta as directed on box. Serve with remaining marinara sauce and Parmesan cheese (optional).

Steam broccoli florets.

Serve Grilled Marinara Chicken with Pasta and Broccoli.
