Chicken Spedini with Lemon Sauce

Here is another one of those family favorites and with some upfront planning can be easily prepared for a tasty week night meal. It won't show in the pictures, but it was about 15 degrees outside while I was grilling. I was hoping to capture the steam rising off the dish but it was too fast of an exposure.

To make sure we had enough garlic in our system, Barb made a Cesar salad to go along side the chicken. And to wash it all done, how about some Blue Moon?
