This was absolutely wonderful. I added some thin slices of lemon on top of the chicken while grilling and I think that may have added some extra moisture....because even the left overs were moist and juicy :) I think I will also try this combo with fish!

My husband is a very picky eater and he loved this chicken. In his words, "I don't want it ever to end". Personally, I didn't think it was a big deal except that it was super easy and fast. I also used the 1 tsp of dried thyme and 1/2 tsp of dried lemon peel. I used only one tsp of Garlic Salt and subsituted one tsp of Garlic Pepper in place of the pepper. It was very moist.
