Zesty Grilled Jalapeno Chicken

While we love quick and easy meals sometimes you also have to add in some good old fashioned prep time to the mix. This is still a pretty simple meal to prepare and the marinating time is well worth it as the result is your chicken packs some zesty flavor with a touch of heat from the fresh jalapeno. Grilled veggies really round out this outdoor meal and keep it on the healthy side.

The good on this recipe is that it is low in Sodium and Saturated Fat while also be a good source of protein and nutrients - especially Vitamins C, B6 and Selenium, Niacin and Phosphorus.
