Grilled Citrus & Thyme chicken

Lemons are a staple fruit around my house as they are involved in so many of my recipes. For this simple marinade, I also used a grapefruit and lime. Feel free to change up the citrus. You can even do all lemon or substitute any with an orange. I love grapefruit in this recipe because of it’s hint of sweetness. Adding fresh herbs to anything is a great way to pack in nutrients. Thyme is especially beneficial for the immune system as it contains a healthy amount of Vitamin C and Vitamin A.

I marinaded this chicken in the morning to have with dinner. It’s certainly not necessary to marinade all day; in fact, just a few hours is plenty! I love to serve this with any salad, but the best way is with my Confetti Couscous. As you can tell in the above picture, I threw on vegetables to be added to the Confetti Couscous salad.

    Where does the thyme go? (No pun intended.)
