For a lot of us, Summer has come (or will come) early this year. Especially if you have kiddos! While Summer is officially a couple of months off still, I thought I’d get things heading in that direction. I mean… it’s already in the high 80’s here on most days. It’s been perfect weather for grilling!

With it being warm out, I wanted to make use of the grill, but also have something nice, cool, and refreshing on the plate. That’s where this Tex-Mex Pico De Gallo Grilled Chicken comes into play. I got my hands on some Texas Pete® Original Hot Sauce and knew it would make the perfect marinated for chicken.
