PEPPER LIME CHICKEN



Pepper Lime Chicken image

This comes from Better Homes & Gardens (celebrating the promise) I really like this chicken hope you do too! It has you broil it but I usually just bake at 350 for about 30 min. It also calls for 6 chicken breasts but can be reduced I usually only make about 3 due to my family size. Prep time is also marinating time.

PEPPER LIME CHICKEN



Pepper Lime Chicken image

Original recipe only called for the Ingredients I haven't listed as Optional. It also called for broiling the chicken and marinating w/ the juice. Over the years though I have really modified it to make it more in the Oven and avoid having to broil it. I don't care for time consuming recipes/difficult. I like simple :) I...

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 1/2 lb meaty chicken pieces (i prefer bone in thighs)
1/2 tsp finely shredded lime peel
1/4 c lime juice
1 Tbsp cooking oil
1 clove minced garlic
1 tsp ground black pepper
1 tsp dried basil & mexican oregano
1/4 tsp salt
1 roma tomato, chopped (optional)
1 Tbsp cilantro, fresh chopped finely (optional)
1/4 c onion, minced (optional)
1 jalapenos, fresh seeded/minced (optional)
1/3 c green pepper &/or red peppers, chopped (optional)
1 pinch optional spices you can use: ground cumin (or) ground red pepper, i use about a pinch of either one i prefer to use at the time.

Steps:

  • 1. Rinse chicken pat dry. Skin side down on unheated rack of broiler pan broil 4-5 inches from the heat about 20 min or until lightly browned
  • 2. Meanwhile, for lime glaze, in bowl stir in lime peel, lime juice, oil, garlic, black pepper, basil and salt brush chicken with the glaze. Turn chicken; brush with more glaze. Broil for 5-15 min more or until tender and no longer pink. Brush often with lime glaze during last 5 min of cooking. (I prefer to BAKE this, will add below that option)
  • 3. ***Another way I have made this is by BAKING in oven. just adding all Ingredients in oven proof casserole dish/covered, baked for 350 for approx 45 min or until no longer pink. I have also use this juice in the dish to serve over the chicken and my Spanish rice or white rice (that is normally what I serve w/ it)**** I tend to cook it this way, it's much EASIER for me! I love simple and easy!
