    ByThe Wholesome Spoon

    It’s summer! It’s time for grilling, chilling, and enjoying all these fresh fruits and herbs! It’s the best time of year. These Blueberry and Goat Cheese Grilled Chicken Flatbreads were packed with sweet and savory flavors. These were so tasty and light – the perfect thing for enjoying out on the patio! The chicken breast features a balsamic marinade, then they were grilled to juicy perfection. The blueberries were slightly roasted, just enough to burst and become juicy and jammy. The goat cheese crumbles, fresh basil, the gooey mozzarella, and that balsamic glaze drizzled over top brought everything together so beautifully. This could be a quick lunch, main, app, or snack! It’s pretty healthy too!

    Smoked Beer Can Chicken

    ByThe Wholesome Spoon

    This Smoked Beer Can Chicken was rubbed with a variety of spices like paprika, garlic powder, chili powder, and herbs. It was smoked for several hours, then finished off at a higher temp for the most delicious, crispy skin. I lathered a garlic butter all over this and we dug right in. This was so tasty, and I love how versatile it is too. Have it with mashed potatoes, air fried potatoes, a yummy side salad. This whole smoky chicken gives all the summer BBQ vibes.
