Peggy-Lime Grilled Chicken

[Terrytx]

Took your advise (and most of your menu) and had the Lime Grilled Chicken with Black Bean Sauce. It was great. The sauce ingredients sounded a little strange to me (orange juice and beans), but it was delicious. The only thing I did different was to put the onion and red bell pepper into the sauce ingredients and didn't pre-cook them. With it we had your suggested recipe for the Grilled Marinated Vegetables and because of our lovely fresh tomatoes in the garden, Pasta with Fresh Tomatoes also from CL Complete. Great dinner-thanks to you!!!
