Life is all about easy! What can I throw together before I leave the house in the morning and come home and have to do very little with? This dinner will be on your rotation with that criteria! An easy marinated chicken you throw together in the morning and grill when you get home! Plus a super simple cucumber salad to pair with it! All in all takes about 10 minutes to prep in the morning and 20 minutes when you get home!
