Why grill plain chicken breasts when a simple ginger-honey basting sauce can make them extra special? This tempting chicken is a wonderful summer main dish since it's quick and light. We love it. -Nancy Johnson, Connersville, Indiana

Very good, but wonder if it might be even better if made extra basting sauce and used as marinade before grilling. Will try that next time.

I had extra turkey breasts on hand so I used those instead of chicken and it turned out beautifully. I left off the green onions because we are not fans of those. I served this with the Sesame Vegetable Medley and Grilled Sweet Potatoes recipes from this site.
