This came from my friend Liz's recipe box. Few ingredients but great flavor, chicken always turns out moist. She makes extra to have leftovers for Mexican Lime Chicken Soup. Ingredients:
1/4 cup fresh lime juice |
1/4 cup olive oil |
1 tablespoon garlic, minced |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground |
4 chicken breast halves, rinsed and patted dry (2 lbs. total, with or without skin) |
lime wedge |
Directions:
1. Whisk together lime juice, oil, garlic, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
2. Add chicken, turning to coat. Marinate chicken, covered and refrigerated, turning once or twice, for at least 2 hours and up to 8 hours.
3. Put a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees.
4. Remove chicken from marinade (discard marinade) and arrange skin side up, without crowding, in a shallow baking dish.
5. Season with salt and pepper. Roast until just cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes.
6. If chicken has a skin, turn oven to broil. Broil chicken about 2 inches from the heat until skin is crisp, about 2 minutes.
7. Serve with lime wedges.
