The grilled chicken is a standard go to for healthy, delicious and light meals, but what gives this recipe an extra edge is the combination of watermelons and cucumbers in the salsa.  You’ll be surprised how well that combination works together and with the chicken giving it a fresh tasty condiment.  Not to be ignored, the chicken marinade is a wonder in and of itself.
