Pepper Lime Chicken

[sarahmichelef]

Did this last week at TRex's request (she saw it as I was paging through the cookbook) - it's very tasty, even as a reheat.

6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1 tsp finely shredded lime peel
1/3 c lime juice
3 T oil
1 t dried thyme or basil, crushed
1/2 t coarsely ground black pepper
1/4 t salt
2 cloves garlic
bottled salsa (optinoal)
lime wedges (optional)

Marinate chicken for 30 minutes in lime peel, lime juice, oil, thyme, pepper, garlic, and salt.
Preheat broiler.  Drain chicken; reserve marinade.  Broil until light brown.
Turn chicken & brush with reserved marinade.  Discard leftover marinade.  Broil until cooked through.  Serve with salsa & lime wedges.

I'm actually going to try swapping out some of the oil in the marinade for chicken stock next time, to reduce the fat content (and thus the WW points).
