I love the delicate sweetness in this! I didn't really notice much of the lime, ginger, or garlic flavors at all, so I will double those next time. With more spice, this will be perfect. Thanks for sharing-

The lime flavor in the marinade is wonderful in this recipe! I used thinly sliced chicken breast "cutlets", so I did reduce my grilling time. Made for a fabulously quick meal and a delicious one too. Next time I'll add a bit more seasoning before grilling the chicken.....I like it a bit spicier. Can't wait to have a yummy sandwich tomorrow at lunch with my leftovers! Thanks for sharing.

What a lovely flavor this chicken had nemokitty. I marinaded the thick breasts for 2 hours and baked in the oven for 35 - 40 minutes. They were lovely, tender and juicy, with a really nice subtle flavor. Thanks for sharing a recipe that was quick and easy to make. I will try these on the grill next time, can't wait.

I scaled this back for 3 and my chicken breasts were large (nearly 300 grams each) and I cooked them in the frypan and they took nearly 40 minutes to cook through and in the last 10 minutes I put in 1/4 cup of the marinade which added a deep caramel colour to the chicken and a slight stickiness and bought out the flavours of the marinade, thank you nemokitty, made for 123 Hits tag game.

Wow!!! I was surprised with how much flavor this chicken had after only marinating it for 2 hours. I had 3 large, thick chicken breasts. I sliced the chicken in half so that they wouldn't be so thick to make them quicker to cook on the grill. I also tenderized them after slicing them in half. I used white wine and marinated them for 2 hours, seasoned them and then put them on the grill. I made these over at my in-laws along with Recipe #446471, Recipe #476070 and Recipe #467517. Made for PAC Spring 2012.
