Honey Lime Chicken with zesty Quinoa Salad

What's for dinner?

Monday I was craving some BBQ'd chicken, but I didn't want BBQ chicken. You know what I mean? I didn't want to smother it in BBQ sauce, or put on a quick rub. I wanted something really tasty. So, I did a quick Pinterest search and found the most incredible chicken marinade! The whole family LOVED it (total bonus!) so it's going to be showing up frequently on our summer "meal plan" for sure! (I don't really have a summer meal plan, but usually try and have some quick BBQ supplies on hand!)


The chicken was a perfect combination of sweet and savoury, with a nice fresh hint of lime. Oh man, take me back! I decided to pair it with a quinoa salad (which is generally not my jam, but when I found what looked like a tasty lime vinaigrette I knew I had to try it). I am legit hooked on this entire meal! I added some chopped bell pepper, corn, and red onion to the quinoa salad and finished off the meal with coleslaw. Everything was a total hit!

Here's the recipe links. Enjoy!
