Buttermilk and Herb Marinated Chicken

It sure has been hot lately!  With weather like this I usually try to grill out as much as possible.  I don't enjoy cooking in a hot kitchen on hot summer days.
Last night, I grilled chicken breasts marinated in buttermilk with rosemary.   I found this recipe on "Martha Stewart's" website.

I liked this recipe for two reasons.  First,  it was quite easy and quick to make and second, it was nice and light.
You start by marinating the  chicken breasts in buttermilk, rosemary, salt, and pepper. After the chicken is done marinating,  shake off the excess marinade and grill.  Dinner is ready:-)

The result was a moist and flavorful chicken breast with a hint of rosemary. A nice meal for  a summer day.
