Green Habanero Grilled Chicken

Summer is here!  This means the start of our grilling streak.  First up: our Green Habanero Grilled Chicken recipe.  But this isn’t about the chicken, it’s about the marinade.  A good marinade makes all the difference when it comes to grilling any type of protein.  The combination of spices, acidity and flavors is the trick to a tender filet that gives it that “melt in your mouth” texture.
