  20. We like to marinate chicken, then put it on skewers with onions, tomatoes, bell peppers and pineapple and put it on the grill, then serve over rice. It’s easy and everyone likes is.

  29. One chicken recipe I’ve been seeing a lot of variations for lately and have been wanting to try is pulled chicken. Most of the recipes involve the slow cooker, which I’m all in favor of.

    We eat a lot of chicken, because it’s easy on the budget and there are so many different ways to prepare it. Thanks for this new take on boneless chicken breasts; I’m thinking it will go over well here, especially with rice on the side for any extra sauce.
