This passed the test of my picky 8 year old who insists she does not like chicken - she had seconds! This was very tasty. I did add a little cumin, as others had done. We'll definitely be making this again! I think I'll try it as a fajita marinade!

Delicious! The marinade really gets into the meat. I added cumin as well. Definitely will use this recipe again!

Another 5 star from me! I added cumin as well and also a handful of cilantro. Found out last minute we were out of lighter fluid for the grill so I ended up doing my chicken tenders under the broiler. They were delicious and so easy. The only thing was because of all the lime juice, I only let it marinate for 45 minutes because the citrus started cooking the chicken and I'm not sure if that is safe or not? Anyways it was a great recipe. Oh I added some black pepper to the mix as well. Served over my own cilantro lime mexican rice and topped after cooking with homemade pico de gallo. Tasty and easy.

Fantastic flavor, and the kids gobbled it down like there was no tomorrow.
