This was really good! The chicken was very moist. Will definitely make again! -
What tasty chicken! We always have limes in the fridge so I used lime juice instead of lemon. But everything else I did according to the recipe. The chicken was moist and so full of flavor. I will definitely make this a lot because it was so easy. -
We loved this dish....the chicken had a great flavor to it
