Lime Grilled Chicken

Here is a super simple grilled chicken recipe in which you can toss the marinade together in 10 minutes and prepare a day or two or three in advance.  The lime in this really comes through even after it is cooked and gives it a perfect tang on a summer day.  Like always feel free to modify to your liking.  As is though, this is super Yummy :)
