Cilantro Lime Chicken image

My husband has recently declared my kitchen a cilantro-free zone :( so unfortunately I haven't yet tried this dish, but I am posting it because it sounds good to me and thought it might appeal to others as well. The recipe comes from Ainsley Harriott, a British chef, and he cautions not to marinate the chicken longer than two hours as the lime juice will break down the chicken to the point that it will fall apart. Preparation time does not include marinating time.

This recipe is amazing! The chicken is so moist and flavorful, and the marinade is to die for. I've already made it twice and I'm planning on making it again soon.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken came out dry and tough. I'm not sure what went wrong.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a success. The chicken is always cooked perfectly and the marinade is so flavorful. I usually serve it with rice and beans, but it's also great on its own.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made it with rotisserie chicken and it turned out great. The chicken was moist and flavorful, and the marinade added a lot of flavor.

This recipe was a disaster! The chicken was tough and the marinade was too sour. I ended up throwing it all away.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The chicken was a bit dry and the marinade didn't have much flavor. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
