1-1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1-1/2 tsp sage
3/4 tsp ground nutmeg
3/4 tsp ground cinnamon

Recipe

In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients. With a wire whip, stir in liquid ingredients and mix well. Stir in the vegetables and pour all over the chicken breasts. Cover and marinate at least one hour, but preferably overnight.

Preheat outdoor grill. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill about six minutes on each side. While grilling, brush with marinade. Heat the leftover marinade (to boiling) and serve on the side for dipping. Serves 4.
