Max’s grilled chicken. (Max Walker’22/Staff)
With school sports in full swing, our athletes require the best postgame or practice dinner to recharge for the following school day.
Some students’ games are late and don’t allow them the time to prepare a nutritious dinner. A chicken recipe usually does the trick when the need to prepare a quick protein-packed meal arises.
This recipe of the week has these busy student athletes in mind. It’s a rosemary grilled chicken breast that’s nutritious, delicious, and easy to prepare. The overall cooking time, including prep, is only about 20 minutes maximum. The final product is flavorful, and tender. The marinade perfectly compliments the grilled chicken. Overall this is one of my personal favorite chicken recipes.
