There is just nothing better than chicken on the grill, especially when the weather is a bit warmer. I love Mexican-inspired flavors and this cilantro lime grilled guacamole chicken is perfect for when I’m craving something Mexican-inspired, but also lighter, cleaner, and fresher-tasting than a barbecue sauce or with as much sodium as other store-bought marinades have. You probably have everything in your fridge and pantry to make this cilantro lime chicken marinade because it’s as simple as olive oil, lime juice, honey, chili powder, salt, pepper, and optional cayenne pepper.
