Easy and Delicious
It was easy to prepare and the taste of lime on the chicken made it fresh and different, we ate it with salad for a low calorie diet.

this is better than any marinade!
We love lime, so that helps, but this is better than any marindade I have tried, and it is so easy! I added lime and cilantro to brown rice (like Chipolte) also and it was a perfect dinner!

Fantastic!
I let this soak overnight and it was so fantastic, my 14 month old daughter ate half of one all by herself! My husband loves it and wants it once a week. Super easy to prepare as well.

Yum!
This was really yummy. I marinade the chicken and froze it for about a week. We grilled it and ate it with the cilantro lime salsa and grilled bell pepper and onions and we LOVED it. Will make again for sure!!

Prep was very easy. The lime was a little over powering. The kids liked it.
