Cilantro Lime Chicken

Summer and grilling go hand-in-hand and I am totally in love with this season. Thoughts of warm sunshine, relaxing at the beach,  fresh herbs and vegetables, fragrant colorful flowers cut from my garden, the sounds of kids playing in the yard and the ringing bells of the ice cream truck always make me smile. Add to that firing up the grill for fresh and flavorful food and I’m one happy lady! Bursting with flavor, Cilantro Lime Grilled Chicken is guaranteed to put a smile on your face too! Easy to make, fabulously delicious and healthy for you too…..you’ll be coming back to this recipe time and time again!

2 Tbs. chopped cilantro

1 Tbs. lime zest
