GRILLED CHICKEN WITH SWEET PEPPER AND MANGO CUCUMBER CHUTNEY

Smell that? It’s the perfect summer smell. Grilling. It doesn’t matter what I’m doing, if I smell that smell in our neighborhood, I have to stop and breathe it in!

This weekend we were happy to grill because it was perfect weather, and we wanted some super fresh ingredients to cook.

Pure Flavor Aurora Bites Mini Sweet Peppers were fantastic to grill in our grate on the bbq pit, and pairs perfectly with our marinated chicken breasts. See below for the perfect grilled lunch!

It’s bets to prep in the basket to avoid a massive clean up later!
