this is one of our very favorite ways to spice up chicken when we get super tired of plain ol chicken...



Pepper Lime Chicken

Boneless Skinless Chicken breast halves, or even cut into slices if you want.
1 teaspoon finely grated lime peel (optional)
1/3 cup lime juice(fresh is better but you can also buy it pretty cheap at the store)
3 tablespoons cooking oil(also optional if you're trying to cut all the calories)
1 teaspoon dried thyme or basil, crushed
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cloves garlic minced

Place chicken in plastic sealable bag. For marinade, stir together lime peel, lime juice, oil, thyme or basil, pepper, salt, and garlic. Pour over chicken and seal. Marinate for at least 30 mins, but depending on how flavorful you want it to be i've done it for a few hours before.

Preheat broiler. Drain chicken, reserving marinade. Place chicken on broiler rack(thats not just the plain oven....had to figure that out the hard way.) Broil chicken for 6 to 8 mins or until lightly brown. Turn chicken and brush lightly with the rest of the remaining marinade. Discard the rest. Broil six to eight mins more or until chicken is no longer pink inside. Enjoy!
