MEXICAN LIME CHICKEN



Mexican lime chicken image

A recipe full of zingy flavours

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Dinner, Main course, Supper

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 chicken breasts
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp crushed coriander seeds
1 tsp grated lime zest
½ tsp paprika
½ tsp muscovado sugar
1 lime
6 unpeeled garlic cloves
2 fresh red chillies

Steps:

  • Mix 2 tbsp olive oil with 1 tsp each crushed coriander seeds and grated lime zest and 1⁄2 tsp each paprika and light muscovado sugar.
  • Put 2 chicken breasts in a baking dish, spoon the marinade over, then squeeze over a little lime juice. Cover and marinate for 30 minutes.
  • Slip 1-2 lime slices under the skin of each breast and season. Tuck 6 unpeeled garlic cloves and 2 fresh red chillies around the chicken.
  • Roast the chicken breasts in a baking dish, uncovered, for 30-35 minutes in a preheated oven (190C/gas 5/fan oven 170C). To check if they are done, prod the chicken with your finger - if it's still a bit soft, give it a bit longer.
  • Serve with salad and salsa.

Tips:

  • When choosing limes, look for ones that are firm and have a bright green color. Avoid limes that are soft or have a dull color.
  • To get the most juice out of your limes, roll them on a hard surface before juicing them. This will help to break down the membranes and release more juice.
  • If you don't have any lime juice on hand, you can substitute lemon juice. However, lemon juice has a slightly different flavor than lime juice, so your dish may not taste exactly the same.
  • Limeade chicken is a versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. It's also a great way to use up leftover chicken.
  • If you're looking for a healthier version of limeade chicken, you can use grilled or baked chicken instead of fried chicken. You can also reduce the amount of sugar in the marinade.

Conclusion:

Limeade chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for any occasion. With its tangy and refreshing flavor, limeade chicken is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a new recipe to try, give limeade chicken a try. You won't be disappointed!
