If you prefer your chicken grilled, you can let the chicken breasts marinate in a zip loc freezer bag containing the lemonade marinade.

Tips

The chicken is ready when the internal temperature taken in the largest part of the breast hits 165°F.

Serve it up with a side of baked beans, herbed couscous or a nice green salad. If you decide to grill the chicken instead of baking it in the oven you can serve it with a side of potato salad or macaroni salad.
