Marinated Chicken With Cumin, Garlic & Lime
"I tried a version of this chicken after watching a Robin Miller episode. She made this with olives in the mix and did not let it marinate. We didn't care for the olives with this, and I prefer to let it marinate. The leftover chicken is great in Recipe #226933."

We made this tonight as a recipe for two. We, especially me, loved it. It smelled wonderful while cooking so we were really primed! I did not marinate it - at all. I just poured the sauce over it and cooked it. The chicken had great flavor and didn't dry out. Will use this again! -
Nice flavor. Didn't get to make it on the grill like I wanted because it was raining outside. It was good in the oven but I think it would be much better on the grill. Will make this again. Made for Zaar Chef Alphabet Soup. -
This chicken was absolutely wonderful. It is really hard for me to find a chicken recipe that I will eat a whole breast of before I start feeling queasy but I ate a whole breast myself. The only change I made was to skip the salt for personal preference as we do not add it to our foods. I served with rice and corn and used the leftovers the next day for your fajita recipe. Thanks for posting a recipe I will definitely be making again! -
I was unsure of using this recipe as my DH and I are not big chicken fans (we like to disguise it). This was excellent - the chicken has a really unique and good flavor. I am looking forward to using the leftovers in my fajitas!
