Pepper-Lime Chicken

Ingredients:

6 Skinless, Boneless Chicken Breast Halves

1 Tsp. Finely Shredded Lime Peel

1/3 Cup Lime Juice

3 Tbl. Cooking Oil

1 Tsp. Dried Thyme or Basil, crushed

1/2 Tsp. Coarsely Ground Black Pepper

1/4 Tsp. Salt

2 Cloves Garlic, Minced

Bottled Salsa (optional)

Lime Wedges (optional)

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.

Preheat broiler.  Drain chicken, reserving marinade.  Place chicken on the unheated rack of a broiler pan.  Broil 4-5 inches from the heat about 6 minutes or until light brow. (Sorry, I obviously need to get a broiler pan).

Turn chicken and brush lightly with reserved marinade.  Discard any remaining marinade.  Broil for 6-8 minutes more or until chicken is no longer pink.  If desired, serve with salsa and lime wedges. (Again, I didn't get a picture when it was done.)

You can use any leftover Pepper-Lime Chicken in Chicken Burritos, on a salad, really anything! :)
