Recipe Notes

NOTE:  before grilling your boneless chicken breasts, rinse and remove any extra fat.  Then, butterfly the chicken breasts (this allows for more even cooking).  Generously sprinkle with salt and black pepper and let "rest" while your grill heats up.  Set grill to LOW temperature and grill until done.
