Chicken is an easy go-to menu item. There are so many tasty recipes out there, but this one is special. It is the perfect recipe for summer with zesty lemon, fragrant cilantro or mint, spicy chile pepper and of course Hellmann’s Real Mayonnaise to add a little zip and keep your chicken moist. We love how easy this is to make.

*Try using a combo
**Variation: For Chicken Kabobs, cut chicken into 1-1/2-inch (4 cm) cubes before marinating. After marinating, alternately thread chicken, yellow bell pepper chunks and thinly sliced zucchini on wooden skewers. Grill, turning occasionally, until chicken is thoroughly cooked.
