Grilled Chicken with Goat Cheese, Sundried Tomatoes and Fresh Basil



Okay, this has to be one of the best recipes I have tried in a while and it was a huge success last night at dinner. The dinner table was silent with the occasional sound of pure pleasure coming from someone. My oldest paused in between mouthfuls to say..."I'm never leaving home!" I'll take that as a compliment! Anyway, you must give this one a try!
