Pepper-Lime Chicken
Ingredients
  • 6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 1 teaspoon finely shredded lime peel
  • 1/3 cup lime juice
  • 3 tablespoons cooking oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme or basil, crushed
  • 1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Bottled salsa (optional)
  • Lime wedges (optional)
Directions

1. Place chicken breast halves in a resealable plastic bag set in a shallow dish. For marinade, stir together lime peel, lime juice, oil, thyme, pepper, salt, and garlic. Pour over chicken; seal bag. Marinate in refrigerator for 30 minutes.

2. Drain chicken, reserving marinade. Place chicken on the unheated rack of a broiler pan. Broil 4 to 5 inches from the heat about 6 minutes or until light brown.

3. Turn chicken and brush lightly with reserved marinade. Discard any remaining marinade. Broil for 6 to 8 minutes more or until chicken is no longer pink (170 degrees F). If desired, serve with salsa and lime wedges. Makes 6 servings.
