Grilled Apple Chicken

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 10 min. + marinating Grill: 10 min. YIELD: 6 servings.
“I like to slice the chicken into strips and serve them on a bed of salad greens on hot summer days. The chicken is great for cold sandwiches to take to work, too.” Eileen Rande - Farmington Hills, Michigan

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup unsweetened apple juice or apple cider
  • 1/3 cup lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 4-1/2 teaspoons canola oil
  • 6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)
