This is one of the first recipee's that I made when I first started grilling, and I still make all the time. It is so good and the flavoring is great.

Loved the recipe, but didn't know how to "Grill chicken, covered" ??? Doesn't grilling imply direct heat???

I cooked this in a little oil for a few minutes, then baked it in the oven. It was really good. A nice change from the usual boneless skinless chicken breast recipes.

Made this yesterday when we grilled out. Very tasty and not too spicy. Didn't have onion powder so we used garlic powder. Super easy to make.
