Easy Garlic Chicken Breasts

"This is really simple, but surprisingly good. The chicken is somewhat garlicky and tangy because of the lime juice, but it is not too strong-tasting. It goes great with mashed potatoes and corn muffins. "

  1. Easy is an understatement! We had guests for dinner last night and this was a hit with everyone. I substituted lemon juice for the lime (can't find the stuff locally) and grilled them outside on the BBQ. Served it with some plain seasoned couscous and a veggie-laden salad.
     
  2. BF and I both think "Lime" should be in the title of this recipe. What wonderful flavor the fresh lime juice adds. I marinated all night as suggested and baked (not grilled as the others had.) Wonderful dish! Followed directions exactly. Served with garlic green beans and some cheesy potatoes.
     
  3. This recipe was delicious but next time I will slightly decrease the lime juice and increase the garlic. I also added a little smoked paprika which gave it a nice flavor. I baked the chicken with the marinade then served over a bowl of steamed mixed vegetables to make a low fat/carb meal. The juice of the marinade gave the veggies great flavor.
     
  4. Nice flavor. I cooked mine on the grill and served with green beans and mashed potatoes. It was a hit! Thanks for sharing troyh!
     
  5. These were really bland, almost tasteless. I followed the instructions exactly, and we were not impressed.
