With company showing up in less than 30 minutes, I needed something great and I needed it fast! So, I reached for my copy of ‘Best Chicken Recipes’. And guess what?? I found this little gem and it WAS good… as soon as I cut into it, I realized that I hadn’t taken any pics of it!!
Baked Honey-Lime Chicken
Adapted from: ‘Baked Honey-Lime Drumsticks’ in Good Housekeeping’s 100 Best Chicken Recipes
3 limes, plus wedges for garnish
1/4 c honey
3 small garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp coarse ground pepper
3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 c loosely packed fresh parsley or cilantro leaves, chopped (I used cilantro)
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. From limes, grate 2 tsp peel and squeeze 1/4 juice. In a small bowl, with a fork, mix honey, garlic, coriander, salt, pepper, lime juice and 1 tsp lime peel.
Arrange chicken in a small baking dish. Drizzle lime mixture over chicken. Bake until juices run clear when the thickest part of the chicken is pierced with the tip of a knife, about 30 to 35 minutes. Transfer chicken to serving dish. Drizzle with pan juices. Sprinkle with cilantro and remaining 1 tsp lime peel and serve with lime wedges.
