Labor Day is just around the corner. If you want to shake up your usual menu of burgers and hot dogs, I have just the thing … Tequila Lime Grilled Chicken.

A festive get together calls for something tasty and this dish is sure to be a hit at your next backyard gathering. Super easy to prepare, this is not your basic grilled chicken. You get the flavors of your favorite cocktail PLUS the most amazingly moist and juicy chicken EVER!

The key to this dish is a tasty marinade that starts with Hellmann’s Mayonnaise!

Yes, the mayonnaise that you love on your sandwiches and salads is also amazing for the grill too. Unlike thin, watery marinades, a marinade that starts with Hellmann’s Mayonnaise will evenly coat and stick to the meat so you get great flavor in every single bite. Plus, the oil in the mayonnaise helps keep the chicken from sticking to the grill AND locks in all the juices so you won’t end up with dry, bland chicken.

With the savings available NOW at your local Publix, I’d say this is the perfect time to add this dish to your menu! Load the digital coupon and save $1.50 on your next purchase. Pair that coupon with the sale and you have a fantastic deal on the jars of mayonnaise just in time for Labor Day!

I am a fan of grilled chicken thighs for this recipe, but you can absolutely use chicken breast if you prefer.  Pick the chicken you want then grab some Hellmann’s Mayonnaise, jalapeño peppers, tequila, limes, garlic, cilantro and a little salt and pepper. A minute or two with your food processor (or blender) and you have the start to an amazing meal.

Now when I make this for my guys, I will often just prep the marinade in the morning. That allows the chicken a few hours to sit and absorb the flavors. But, when I am serving this to a large group, I will actually prep it the day before and allow the chicken to sit overnight. There is always so much to do when hosting a gathering, this recipe let’s me get ahead of the game so I can focus on all the other parts of my menu!

So if you are looking to shake up your Labor Day menu and give your guests a dish that they’ll love, you have to try my Tequila Lime Grilled Chicken. Serve over a bed of rice, on a bun or slice it for tacos or even a tasty salad. It’s super tasty and extremely versatile. It might become your new go-to grilling recipe!
