Summary

Cilantro and lime make a fresh and zesty flavor combination in this chicken dish. We start with a whole chicken and break it down into 2 breasts, 2 thighs, two drumsticks, and 2 wings. Butchers at grocery stores will usually break down a whole chicken for you, or you can purchase 2-3 of chicken pieces.

    Easy and tasty. After I marinated the chicken, I added carrots to the leftover marinade and a little more garlic and salt and pepper. Cooked the carrots on the same pan at the same temp and for the same time. The entire meal was seriously delicious. After the chicken is done cooking, make sure to put some of the sauce from the pan back on top for extra flavor. I’ll be making this again!

    I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and marinated them in the sauce for an hour. It is very tasty. I will use the left over chicken for chicken tacos.

    Very easy recipe to pull together. Made with skinless thighs instead of a whole chicken. Only wishing there was more of a lime flavor. Next time will add more lime. I will make this again.
