It pairs perfectly with a side like our BLT pasta salad, easy vegetable dip, or our popular oven roasted zucchini & squash.

- Fresh Lime Juice & Zest

How long should I marinate my chicken?
I like to have my chicken marinate for about 2 hours hours if possible but you can also let it marinate for as little as 30 minutes.

This was so good I was wiggling in my seat while I ate! Served it with rice & veggies. I did add 1/2 tsp garlic powder because I wasn’t sure what you meant by minced garlic… This recipe is a keeper, especially because I have a lime tree in my backyard!
