Pepper-Lime Chicken

Ingredients:
  • 6 chicken strips
  • 1 tsp. shredded lime peel
  • 1/3 cup lime juice
  • 3 Tbs. cooking oil
  • 1 tsp. dried thyme or basil 
  • 1/2 tsp. black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced.....or however much you like
1.  Place chicken in a container or resealable bag.  For marinade, stir together lime peel, lime juice, oil, thyme, pepper, salt, and garlic.  Pour over chicken and place in the fridge to marinate for 30 minutes.
2. (The real recipe has you drain and save the marinade and then broil the chicken.  We just grilled it. )
3. After a few minutes brush some of the remaining marinade onto the chicken, then cook until done.

Suggestion:  We liked this recipe, but I thought that it might be fun to squeeze some fresh orange juice on top after they are done cooking.

  1. Ad- I thought you got that photo from the internet, but I see now that it was your actual dinner. I recognize the apple plates. Nice presentation. Bravo. I think Elise steals all her photos from the internet. :)
