Summer is around the corner and that means it’s grilling season, baby! Truthfully Tony and I grill pretty much all year round, but there’s something extra special about firing up the grill on a warm summer evening.
Tony is the master burger maker and I love nothing more than perfectly marinated grilled chicken. So many of you have been loving our tutorial on how to grill chicken perfectly every time, and always ask me what to serve with grilled chicken. So of course, I had to pull together all of my best healthy, delicious side dishes for grilled chicken!
Last summer we shared tons of grilling tutorials on the blog, plus a FREE, printable e-book with all of my best tips & tricks for mastering your grill.
