Sweet Lime Chicken Recipe
I came up with this recipe about three years ago when I saw something similar in my Cooking Light magazine. I’ve only made it once and it was for an old friend – we ate it on top of a salad (romaine lettuce, corn, tomatoes). Even though this dish is very sweet, I think the chicken would taste good over rice, or inside of a tortilla with a little bit of lettuce and Mexican cheese. I also wonder how it would taste if one added a bit of chipotle seasoning or hot sauce.
