A few days ago, I posted a great recipe for Cilantro Lime dressing. Today's recipe is for the great looking chicken in the photo! Paired with the dressing, this is a fabulous meal!
Lime and Cilantro Chicken
(Original Recipe found HERE, but changed to fit my families' tastes!)
Enough skinless, bonesless chicken breasts, cut into strips, to feed your family
Juice of 2 limes (can also use the zest for an extra kick)
2 TB Sugar
2 teas. dried Oregano
1/2 teas. Cayenne
1 teas. ground Cinnamon
2 teas. Cilantro
Vegetable Oil
Mix all the ingredients except for the chicken in a large bowl. Add chicken and set aside to marinate for 30 minutes.
Heat vegetable oil in a large frying pan. Add chicken and cook until done.
Here's the fun part! What to do with the chicken?
1. Salad! Add the chicken to a salad, and be sure to use Cilantro Lime Dressing over the entire thing!
2. Make burritos! We made ours with black beans, chicken, salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and cheese.
3. Add onions and peppers to the pan to make Fajita's!
What can you come up with? My husband took one bite of this chicken and said "WOW!" This is a keeper in our house for sure!
