Let me introduce you to The Best Grilled Chicken Breast Recipe Guaranteed to Make You Love Chicken Again! This is the Best Grilled Chicken Breast Recipe Guaranteed to Make You Look Good! The Best Grilled Chicken Breast Recipe You'll Ever Make! And the easiest and best way to grill chicken breast. Chicken Breast became a popular option in the 1950’s during the introduction of TV dinners. Everyone has seen those Flash Frozen Chicken Breast that everyone just placed into the Microwave and hoped for the best. The chicken breast always came out dry and bland. During the 1970’s manufactures started injecting the chicken breast with a flavored water mixture to combat the dryness and lack of flavor. The result was a more flavorful chicken breast, but also a lot of chemicals that we should not want in our bodies.
