Greek Grilled Chicken

I am always trying to find new ways to marinate chicken.  This recipe was inspired from a visit with my in-laws.  They use Greek vinaigrette as a salad dressing.  After I tried it, I thought it would be a good marinade for chicken because it has such a strong flavor.   I used Girard's Greek Feta Vinaigrette.   It is a good one to use for a marinating because of its thickness and it tends to stick to the chicken better.  You can actually taste it on the chicken and the lemon pepper gives it a pop!
