Notes

If you cannot find Dean Jacob’s 4 Spice Variety Pack Tuscany Blend at Walmart, you have a few options:

- Order from Amazon – cue the angels singing! (link above)
- Make your own version of Dean Jacob's – Mix ¼ cup Italian seasoning, 1 tablespoon minced dry sun-dried tomatoes, and 1 teaspoon dried basil.
- Use Kinder’s Buttery Steakhouse Blend – I usually grab it at Costco, but Walmart and other grocery stores carry it too.
- Try McCormick’s Greek Seasoning – A great, easy swap!
- Create your own blend – Use a mix of garlic powder, rosemary, thyme, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and a touch of paprika.

Grilled chicken can be reheated by wrapping in foil and placing in a 250 degree oven until warmed through.
