We really enjoyed this chicken. We made it exactly as written, except we threw it on the grill for the last few minutes. It has a WONDERFUL flavour!! Obviously if you don't care for lime or cilantro, you shouldn't try it!! I served this with Mexican rice and margaritas....delicious. Thanks for posting!

<p>I started cooking when I was about 12 years old. I was a fan of Graham Kerr's Galloping Gourmet and my mother helped me buy the ingredients and cook Steak Diane after I saw it on his show. <br /> <br />I can't cook for the family every night, but I try try to have one or two nights a week when I can fix them a home meal. Sunday is the day when my wife, 3 kids, 1 daughter-in-law, and 2 grand daughters get together to have a big dinner. <br /> <br />My picture is me holding my babies. Being a grandfather is really great. They call me Papa by the way.</p>
