Chipotle Lime Grilled Chicken
Chipotle Lime Grilled Chicken
You might think I’m in love with chicken (yes, I am) because a chicken recipe appears every week, but you can’t have Grill Week without a grilled chicken recipe. So here’s a good one! You’ll love all the lime i.e. juice, zest. It adds so much flavor, but the kicker is the McCormick Grill Mates Chipotle seasoning I used to add the pop! It’s got that smoky red chili pepper flavor and along with cumin and at least 2-3 hours marinating time in the refrigerator, you’ll be begging for more. Everyone in our house, including my very particular 15 year old daughter loved it. I’ll be bringing this one to our July 4th get away this weekend. What are you planning on grilling this weekend?
