Sweet and Sour Barbecued Chicken

So I have a couple of grilled chicken recipes I like to make each summer.  I already shared hubby's favorite: Peanut butter chicken and now, here is mine:

Sweet and Sour Barbecued Chicken



Ingredients:
(Yes, I like to shop at Target!)



2 Cloves of garlic ~ crushed through a garlic press
2 Tablespoons ~ balsamic vinegar
Juice of 1/2 a lime
Juice of 1/2 a lemon
1/3 Cup ~ brown sugar
2 Tablespoons ~ dijon mustard
1/3 Cup ~ honey
1 teaspoon ~ salt
1/2 teaspoon ~ pepper
4 Tablespoons ~ olive oil
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut in half (or you could look at it as 4 chicken breast halves ~ see how helpful I am!)  **** READ THE TIP AT THE END!

Here's what'cha do:

1. Make the sauce.  In a shallow bowl, whisk together: garlic, vinegar, lime, lemon, brown sugar, mustard, honey, salt and pepper.

2.  Whisk in olive oil.

3.  Reserve some sauce in a separate bowl for dipping.

4.  Coat chicken in sauce ~ grill.  Baste with more sauce while grilling if desired.

Cute whisker:


Lemon Sucker (who started loving lemons before she was 1),


and 

Wine Pourer
(pay no attention to the dead plants on the table!  Long string one is suppose to be a sunflower that Action planted at school ~ oops and the other one.... a lovely dried up red begonia......)


optional!

End result....

FABULOUS!


Enjoy!

**** TIP****
SINCE YOUR ALREADY GRILLING, GRILL SOME EXTRA CHICKEN BREASTS ~ EITHER PLAIN OR WITH A LITTLE SEASONED SALT (THAT'S WHAT WE USED) AND COME BACK NEXT MONDAY FOR A RECIPE TO PUT THAT CHICKEN IN!  YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!



Oh, and don't forget to attend some parties!  I am :)

Looks delish, as always! It's always so much easier to get pics of our meals in the summer, isn't it? That winter darkness ruins all my pics!
