Cliantro Honey Lime Chicken


As a family of seven, we love grilled food. Even while we live in climate with four seasons, we grill year round. Cilantro Honey Lime Chicken is another grilling favorite. The lime and cilantro give it a bright taste. We paired this with Fresh Tomatoes with Herbed Feta and Corn on the Cob.
