MEXICAN LIME CHICKEN
A favorite weeknight meal and just as good as leftovers (so make extra). This simple marinade creates tender, flavorful pieces of chicken perfect for tacos or topping salads. It is ideal to marinade your meat for at least 30 minutes but my favorite trick is to pull meat out of the freezer in the morning, place in a ziploc bag with marinade, and by the time I am home from work, it will be thawed and marinated to perfection.
