Grilled Citrus Chicken Thighs
Chicken thighs are juicier than breasts due to their slightly higher fat content. Don't fret over the added fat in the poultry; simply pair the thighs with couscous or brown rice and a steamed vegetable for a healthy balance.
Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 2 chicken thighs)
