Chicken With Lime Sauce image

Another great recipe from the magazine Cooking Light. This silky sauce coats the chicken with rich, tangy flavor. Substitute lemon if you don't have a lime on hand. For a splash of color, garnish with chopped parsley or chives.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. The sauce is tangy and flavorful, and it really brings the chicken to life. I usually serve it with rice and vegetables, but it's also great on tacos or burritos.
