How to make Grilled Lime Chicken
Description
Garlicky, savory lime flavors permeate Lime Chicken!
To achieve the depth of flavor in a basic lime marinade, combine soy sauce for saltiness and a pinch of sugar for superb caramelization.
Perfect for a fast midweek supper and even better on the grill!
Plus, at less than 300 calories for an entire chicken breast, it's really healthful.
Let's get started.
