Grilled Lime Chicken with Yummy Chipotle Sauce!

 I was inspired to cook this meal when I recieved my first farm share of the season!  I paired the chicken with an easy fresh cole slaw!

Ingredients:
9 boneless skinless chicken thighs
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1 lime, juiced
1 tbsp olive oil
4 cloves garlic
1 tbsp paprika
1 tsp rosemary
1 tsp fresh ground black pepper

For the Sauce:
1/2 cup yogurt
1 lime juice
2 tsp chipotle sauce

Directions:

1. Mix all ingredients in bowl or bag and marinade for 2 hours.  You do not want to marinade to long when using yogurt as a base. 
2. Then make the sauce and refridgerate till ready to serve.
3. When ready, grill till cooked!  The nice thing with thighs is that they are so easy and fast to grill! 

Check out all these yummy veggies in our first farm share!  We opted to get a full share this season along with eggs!
