Honey Lime Grilled Chicken
Sweet and tart, this chicken is great cooked on the grill or stovetop. Just watch it closely as it cooks - the honey in the marinade can blacken or burn more quickly than other ingredients.
Smarts: Grill a double batch of chicken tonight to have leftovers for Thursday's no-cook salad.
