Recipe of the Day- Grilled Chile-Lime Chicken

I have never given my son chicken nuggets because I have always preferred grilled chicken instead of fried. BUT this does not mean it can't be delicious for the whole family AND healthy! This recipe can be made for any baby who has been introduced to citrus and chicken! (and yes, give them the spicy peppers! You can reduce the amount to start- but get them used to good spice young!!)
