Story

Homemade marinades are great, but when you find a bottled marinade you really like, why not use it? The only thing I add sometimes is a little extra squeeze of lime juice.
You can use this same chicken in a pasta salad or any other salad. Try it with a Ginger Sesame dressing instead of a creamy Caesar. Once you have the chicken grilled, you'll find all kinds of dishes to try.
