Lime-Honey Glazed Chicken


  • 6 tablespoons honey
  • 6 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons freshly grated lime zest
  • 6 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 4 6-ounce bone-in chicken thighs, skin and excess fat removed
  • 2 12-ounce bone-in chicken breasts, skin and excess fat removed, cut in half crosswise


I usually just do 2 chicken breasts so cut it down how much it calls for, and I mix all the ingredients together, put in a container and coat the chicken.  Let it marinade in the fridge for all day or overnight.  The longer it marinates the better!  Cook it on the grill and it is sooo yummy!!!  


Heavenly Fruit Dip


1 (12 oz.) container whipped topping, thawed
1 sm. jar marshmallow crème
1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese
2 sm. cartons strawberry yogurt

Mix ingredients together and refrigerate until ready to serve. Good with apples, strawberries, grapes, etc. Other yogurt flavors can be substituted in place of strawberry.
