If you are looking for an awesome chicken recipe then this Chili Lime Chicken recipe will be a big hit in your house! Just mix the marinade in the morning and then marinade your chicken in it all day long and pop it on the grill when you are going to make dinner. This is also a great way to prep chicken ahead of time, you can mix the marinade and put it and the chicken in a freezer bag and then freeze it. Then when you defrost it your chicken will be marinating and be ready to put on the grill easily! I also like to use this chicken on My Taco Chicken Salad
