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.

Nice flavor and super easy to put together.

This turned out really yummy and easy to make!

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.
