WEIGHT WATCHERS GRILLED GINGER LIME CHICKEN



Weight Watchers Grilled Ginger Lime Chicken image

Found this on line and it's simple, yummy and only 4 smart points. It calls for boneless, skinless chicken thighs, but I used breasts as that's what I have. It uses a ginger lime marinade and then grilled until done. Watch the grilling though as the honey in the marinade tends to make the chicken burn if you don't watch it closely
