KC is a total meat and potatos guy so I have dumbed down my cooking a bit but one of our staple meals is garlic herb marinated chicken thighs. I found this marinade packet in the pantry and it was delicious. They are super easy and everyone loves them. I buy bulk bonless skinless chicken thighs at Costco and freeze them in two portion bags. I pound out the thighs to even thickness, add a little extra minced garlice and marinate for 30 mins to an hour and grill. They are great leftover too.
