Grilled Margarita Chicken image

The flavors of margarita combine for a delicious grilled chicken dish topped with a yummy lime yogurt sauce. I received this recipe from a Live Better America email. Serve with garlic French bread and a simple green salad. Easy, healthy and tasty...you can't beat that.
