How to Make Fiesta Lime Chicken on the Grill

Cris here.

One of our very favorite low carb slow cooker recipes is Crock Pot Fiesta Lime Chicken, a main dish we converted from yummy oven dish we found in one of our favorite low carb cookbooks, Keto Restaurant Favorites. The sauce on this chicken is absolutely incredible and we make it a LOT around here. So the other day, I decided to throw it on the grill instead of the slow cooker and we loved the results!
