Sometimes when it comes to a great dinner, simple is best!
We want to thank Chef Kevin Dundon for his contribution to our Foodie Week with his new recipe for making tasty, tender, and juicy chicken.
The key to this recipe is soaking the butterflied chicken breasts in the herbed buttermilk — And if you have enough time to marinate overnight, even better. This recipe is fresh, easy, and does not disappoint!
You can grill the chicken on an outdoor grill or indoors on a grill pan.
