This dish is full of flavor, quick, family-friendly, and just delicious! The flavors of lime, chili powder, garlic and honey all get along just great! I cut up chicken breasts in one inch cubes and tossed them in some lime zest, garlic, chili powder, salt and pepper. I skewered them and grilled them. I served it with sauteed colorful peppers, onions, and chunks of fresh pineapple and brown rice. When it is done, I drizzled a mixture of lime juice and honey on it all and WOW was this a winner! This is kid-friendly for sure! My 12 year old said it was the most amazing thing I have made lately...so there's that!
