Lime-Ginger Chicken

By Fiona Haynes, About.com

This is a tangy chicken recipe that's perfect for a summer cookout. Marinate skinless, boneless chicken breasts in a blend of lime juice, soy sauce and ginger then simply grill or broil.

Cook Time: 12 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 4 skinless boneless chicken breasts
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • 2 tsp reduced sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tsp freshly grated ginger
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 bunch green onions, finely chopped

Preparation:

Place chicken breasts in a shallow glass dish. Combine lime juice, soy sauce, ginger, oil, garlic and scallions, and pour over chicken, turning the chicken over to coat both sides. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 2-4 hours.

Grill on medium high or broil for 6 minutes each side, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of at least 165 degrees.
