1 tablespoon brown sugar |
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice, divided |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice |

1/3 cup (3 ounces) 1/3-less-fat cream cheese |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro |
2 tablespoons light sour cream |
8 mini bell peppers |
Directions:
1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. After preheating, reduce one side to low.
2. Combine 1/4 cup green onions, 1/4 cup shallots, sugar, 2 tablespoons juice, oil, allspice, garlic, and serrano in a mini food processor; process until smooth. Combine half of onion mixture and chicken in a medium bowl; toss well. Sprinkle with salt.
3. Place chicken on grill rack coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Cover and grill 5 minutes on each side. Move chicken over low heat. Cover and grill 5 minutes on each side or until done. Brush chicken with remaining onion mixture.
