Ridiculously Easy Juicy Chicken Thighs image

I am almost too embarrassed to post this because of its simplicity, but my family loves it. I always used to marinate chicken in Italian Dressing and one day I realized I was out so I grabbed a bottle of Newman's Own Light Lime Vinaigrette instead because it's all I had on hand (and it's 50% less fat and 52% fewer calories than regular dressing). WOW. The lime adds a wonderful "zing" to the chicken. Two ingredients. Can't get much easier than that. Tastes great served with couscous (use some of the juices atop the couscous) and a green veggie. I plan to try this method on chicken kabobs on the grill in the summer months.
