GRILLED HONEY LIME CHICKEN
Olivia is always combing the internet looking for great new recipes.  She found this one on the Real Life Moms website.  It combines a delightful mix of citrus, savory spice, and heat to make for a delicious grilling flavor.  Getting a nice glaze on it as you grill it only adds to the awesome flavor of this chicken dish.  Who doesn't like something new and different when it comes to grilling chicken?
