Ww Grilled Jalapeno Chicken
"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!"

Too cold to start the grill outside so I did the George Foreman, we also used boneless skinless breasts. I think I could eat this every day - well that is if you didn't have hundreds of other great recipes on this site. -
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! -
Yum! I used a chicken quarter (long story otherwise, lol) and it worked really well. This was simple to make and very flavorful. Thanks for yet another keeper, Teresa. Made for FYC tag. -
Loved it! Used 1 large jalapeño but will use the recommended amount next time. It was not spicy, made it mild for kids. Thanks will make again!

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. -
I was looking for uses for my homegrown jalapenos and this fit the bill. Pretty tasty grilled chicken, but next time I might skip the honey, as I'm not sure what it added to the flavor. Served with grilled potatoes and zucchini. I also subbed parsley for the cilantro as a personal preference.
