PEPPER LIME CHICKEN
This comes from Better Homes & Gardens (celebrating the promise) I really like this chicken hope you do too! It has you broil it but I usually just bake at 350 for about 30 min. It also calls for 6 chicken breasts but can be reduced I usually only make about 3 due to my family size. Prep time is also marinating time.

PEPPER LIME CHICKEN
Original recipe only called for the Ingredients I haven't listed as Optional. It also called for broiling the chicken and marinating w/ the juice.

Broil for 5-15 min more or until tender and no longer pink. Brush often with lime glaze during last 5 min of cooking. (I prefer to BAKE this, will add below that option)
- 3. ***Another way I have made this is by BAKING in oven. just adding all Ingredients in oven proof casserole dish/covered, baked for 350 for approx 45 min or until no longer pink. I have also use this juice in the dish to serve over the chicken and my Spanish rice or white rice (that is normally what I serve w/ it)**** I tend to cook it this way, it's much EASIER for me! I love simple and easy!

Tips:
- To achieve the best flavor, use fresh, ripe limes. The zest and juice from the limes will add a bright, citrusy flavor to the chicken.
- If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the chicken in a grill pan over medium-high heat. Just be sure to preheat the pan before adding the chicken.
- If you want a spicier dish, you can add more cayenne pepper or chili powder to the rub. You can also use a hotter pepper, such as a habanero pepper, but be careful not to overdo it.
- Be sure to marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will help the flavors to penetrate the chicken and make it more flavorful.
- Cook the chicken over medium-high heat so that it gets a nice char on the outside while still remaining juicy on the inside.
