You'd be hard-pressed to find a marinade this flavorful at any store! Add or subtract the jalapenos to suit your crew's taste, and you'll be grilling a new family favorite before you know it. — Rusty Collins, Orlando, Florida

Ingredients

1/2 cup lemon juice
1/3 cup honey
3 tablespoons canola oil
6 green onions, sliced
3 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped
3 teaspoons dried thyme
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)

Directions

In a blender, combine the first 9 ingredients; cover and process until smooth. Pour 1/2 cup into a small bowl for basting; cover and refrigerate. Pour remaining marinade into a bowl or shallow dish. Add chicken and turn to coat; cover and refrigerate for up to 6 hours.
Drain chicken, discarding marinade. On a greased grill rack, grill chicken, covered, over medium heat (or broil 4 in. from the heat) until a thermometer reads 165°, 4-6 minutes on each side, basting frequently with the reserved marinade.

Peppers (Hot)

Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.
