Cilantro Honey-Lime Grilled Chicken



My gym was handing out recipes and gave us stickers if we sent them pictures of us making their recipes.  This was one of them, and I LOVED IT!  It's so easy and DELICIOUS!  This was a grill recipe, but we used this panini press/griddler since there was 3 feet of snow outside.  We cut up some baby peppers and mixed those in the sauce as well, and it was soooo good.
