This is really simple, but surprisingly good. The chicken is somewhat garlicky and tangy because of the lime juice, but it is not too strong-tasting. It goes great with mashed potatoes and corn muffins.

SERVES 2 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1/4 cup lime juice
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
salt & pepper

Directions

1
In a medium bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, and garlic.
2
Season with salt and pepper generously, and add chicken, making sure it is well-coated with the marinade. Marinate chicken, covered in fridge for at least 3 hours and preferably overnight. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
3
Remove chicken from marinade and discard marinade. Arrange chicken breasts in a shallow baking pan.
4
Season with salt and pepper and roast for 25-30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear when you prick it with a fork.

This recipe was included in Taste Tester's FAVORITE REVIEWED RECIPES OF 2008. December 9, 2008 — This is a terrific recipe! It only took me 5 minutes to prep it and put it in the fridge to marinate. It is so delicious and I loved the combination of lime and garlic. Thanks for this keeper — everyone LOVED it!

I found this recipe just ok, nothing special. It had a hint of lime and I added more garlic so the taste was there, but it wasn't anything I would make again. Seemed to need additional spices or something.

Easy is an understatement! We had guests for dinner last night and this was a hit with everyone. I substituted lemon juice for the lime (can't find the stuff locally) and grilled them outside on the BBQ. Served it with some plain seasoned couscous and a veggie-laden salad.

BF and I both think "Lime" should be in the title of this recipe. What wonderful flavor the fresh lime juice adds. I marinated all night as suggested and baked (not grilled as the others had.) Wonderful dish! Followed directions exactly. Served with garlic green beans and some cheesy potatoes.
