Grilled Chicken

Ingredients

I decided to not marinate the chicken since there was so much flavor in the rice.

Instructions

1. Start the grill (I use a gas grill, so it's only a matter of turning on the propane tank and turning on the burners.)
2. Place the chicken on the grill.
3. Flip a few times and ensure that the chicken is cooked through.
4. Use a meat thermometer to make sure the chicken is cooked all the way through.
5. Remove from the grill.

I'm basically in love with this V8 juice. I would have never thought to use it in so many ways! The taste is crisp and clean and you can really taste all the vegetables.
