ReplyDeleteSo quick and full of wonderful flavor! This is one I'll make!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely trying out this recipe when I restock on limes, yum! I'm tired of the same seasonings on my chicken but will definitely marinate it using lime, thanks for the inspiration! =]
ReplyDeleteYou are right - this is easy - and delicious. I'm sticking with the lime - love the zing form it. Will be doing this.

ReplyDeleteThis has everything I can't have this month because of gastritis, but man, am I making this come March!!
ReplyDeleteExcellent this recipe. I don't use lime much and think I should start using it more. It must give a nice flavour to the chicken especially with the marinade!
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend!
That looks fabulous! Do you think it would hold up to a little more pepper? I love spicy, citrusy dishes.
ReplyDeleteI love your idea for adding the lime before freezing it - it's a great tenderizer! I was watching your videos on Youtube last night - you have quite a collection going!
ReplyDeleteFantastic flavors with this marinade!

ReplyDeleteMMM, this looks so good! Chicken is my absolute favorite and I love the way you dressed it up! Great recipe, I love your video too :)
ReplyDeletewhat a delicious change to lemon pepper chicken. Wonderful and the make ahead tip is terrific too. xo P.S. thank you for linking up to the Thursday Favorite Things blog hop linky party.
ReplyDeleteThis chicken must taste so good and I love that you can prepare it in advance and freeze it to save time.
ReplyDeleteCitrus marinades are the best! I love how easy this is - great idea for a freezer marinade. This will be perfect for work lunches or easy dinners :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the freezer tip. This will be great to have on hand when my girls start school in a couple of weeks and we get super busy.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a fantastic combination of ingredients. I love marinating chicken with citrus, this makes the meat super tender every time, like you said!
ReplyDeleteThis looks delicious and I love the flavors and the fact it marinates in the freezer until you need it! I'll have mine with a grilled avocado :)
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of marinating in the freezer -- Is this meant to be a make-ahead dish that's ready to thaw whenever you want? The flavors in the marinade sound great, but does the freezing change anything? Would it be just as good if you marinated your chicken?
ReplyDeleteyes it marinates in the freezer and taste just like you just did the marinade when you thaw it out and cook however you like to make it. We especially like the chicken on the grill in kabobs, but winter time it goes in the crockpot over rice :) hope that helps
