Ww Grilled Jalapeno Chicken

TeresaS's Note:

This is another great Jalapeno Chicken recipe by Weight Watchers. It's out of the 2000 "Day by Day" cookbook. It has 3 points per serving. I have done both blender and fine chopping and they are both great. I find the extra bits and pieces by chopping instead of blending adds a great crunch to the dish and makes it look outstanding. Hope you enjoy and happy eating!

These are amazing. We brought it to a byom bbq and everyone was really jealous. I will definitely make this again!

Made for Potluck Tag. We really enjoyed this, but then again, we like just about anything with lime, cilantro & jalapenos. The only thing that I did different was to use boneless skinless chicken thighs, but that is what I usually have on hand. Will be making this often during the summer. Thanks for posting this Teresa!

Very good. Made as posted except I used jarred jalapeno instead of fresh so I omitted the salt. I marinated for about 4 hours and heat came through fine. Thank you TeresaS for sharing.
