Grilled Chicken with Creamy Grits and Mushroom sauce. This dish is delish! Taking cooking classes at the “Wooden Spoon” is helping me to created meals my husband keeps asking for. I personally like to let the chicken marinate all day to help bring out the rosemary flavor.

  • ½ cup olive oil
  • 4 tbsp chopped garlic
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
  • 4 skinless chicken breasts

  • 2 cups chickens stock or canned low –salt chicken broth
