Awesome Garlic Chile Lime Chicken Recipe
One of the diversities of making this dish and loving it is the ability to cook it in whatever manner you prefer and/or is most convenient for you I have grilled it on the outdoor BBQ grill, I have pan-fried it in a skillet, broiled it, used my indoor grill-pan to sear then finished baking it in the oven…any and all may produce absolutely wonderful results

- Whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, lime zest and juice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic and mustard until well combined.
- Place chicken in bowl and pour sauce over all, coating evenly cover and marinate in refrigerator for 30 to 60 minutes but I wouldn’t suggest allowing it to sit for any more than 2 hours.
- Remove chicken from marinade and sprinkle with salt and pepper reserving marinade for basting the chicken as it cooks if you prefer…otherwise, discard marinade.
- Cook chicken in whatever manner you prefer until a fork can be inserted in chicken easily and the juices run clear.
Garlic Chile Lime Sauce
Add all sauce ingredients in a blender or food processor and puree until sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Taste for seasonings as you may want to add some salt and/or pepper at this point and/or even additional citrus/peppers…it’s all up to you.
- Serve chicken with sauce drizzled on top or on the side.
Note: I have had the leftovers of this dish the next day on top of salad greens with chopped onions, sliced radishes, sliced cucumbers and shredded cheese…using the cold sauce as dressing.
