Grilled Cilantro Lime Chicken
Last Summer, I decided I just wanted to grill everyday. No kitchen use for me. So every meal plan, I would just come up with a bunch of recipes for grilling, and then super simple side dishes or ones that I could prep a big batch and eat all week long like my favorite pizza pasta salad or this deviled egg potato salad.
One of our favorites was this Grilled Cilantro Lime Chicken. It uses just a simple marinade with basic ingredients, then just grill it up! The grilled cilantro lime chicken is delicious by itself just serving it with some rice or black beans. But the main reason we love it is because of how versatile it is. Hubby loves packing it for lunch the next day in a big chicken taco salad. It's also really good in a tortilla for chicken tacos. You can even spice it up and throw some fresh chopped jalapenos in the marinade!
Enjoy the weather, and some yummy Grilled Cilantro Lime Chicken!
