Most of my new recipes from here until September will be things done on the grill. Yes, it might get monotonous, but our summers are so short here in Upstate New York! Today's recipe is quick and easy. Sure, you could just as easily use a bottle of marinade, but with a recipe this fast and fresh you're not going to want to take the easy way out.
INGREDIENTS
½ cup fresh lime juice (5-6 fresh limes) I cheated- I used a bottle of lime juice. Same thing.
¼ cup olive oil
2 cloves garlic
1 tsp crushed red pepper
Salt
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
DIRECTIONS
1. In a bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, garlic, crushed red pepper, and 1 tsp salt. In a large zip lock bag place chicken and lime marinade. Seal bag and refrigerate 8 hours or overnight, turning bag several times.
2. Preheat broiler, setting rack 4 inches from source of heat, or prepare outdoor grill for direct grilling on medium.
3. Remove chicken from marinade, discard marinade. Place chicken on rack in broiling pan or on hot grill rack, and cook 12-15 minutes or until juices run clear.
Quick, easy, and the chicken is SO tender. I don't know if it was the cooking or the juices, but it was delicious.
