I decided this summer to have a goal of being more comfortable grilling on our outside grill.  Anyone that knows my husband knows why I don't get too many chances to grill.  Let's just say BBQ and smoked meats are kind of his thing and he gets a little protective of his grill and smokers when I try to use them.   I totally understand because I get the same way about my kitchen when he tries to use it.  This was my first attempt and it was delicious.   I am really on a citrus kick lately and this chicken really measured up!
From Real Mom Kitchen
1 can (10 ounces) frozen non-alcoholic margarita mix, thawed (I just used frozen limeade)
3 tablespoons lime juice
3 garlic cloves, minced
5 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1/4 teaspoon salt 
1/4 teaspoon pepper
In a small bowl, combine the margarita mix, lime juice and garlic. Pour 1  1/4 cup marinade into a large resealable plastic bag. Add the chicken; seal bag  and turn to coat. Refrigerate for 4 hours.  (I only marinated for 2 hours and it was still delicious)  Rotate half way through marinading.   Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade.
Drain and discard marinade. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Using  long-handled tongs, dip a paper towel in cooking oil and lightly coat the grill  rack. Grill chicken, covered, over medium heat for 5-7 minutes on each side or  until a meat thermometer reads 160°, basting frequently with reserved  marinade. Yield: 5 servings.
