Loved rthe zing from the lime! Used about 1 tsp of lime zest and added 1/2 tsp of hot pepper flakes to the recipe. I appreciated that the breasts were not cooked with a lot of oil. I just lightly sprayed a non stick skillet and they were done in no time lovely golden color and juicy. I marinated them in the fridge for about 6 hours. Great flavor I will make these again and next time I may try lemon juice & lemon zest., I always love lemon too Thanks Amber!

I made it so hot it made me want to pull out my chest hair ...that I don't have. A total hit!

Loved the flavors and the only change I made was to cut back on the ginger-personal preference. Marinate in a ziploc bag and flip a few times.

Tasty! Different than our normal old boring chicken! My husband loved this and I liked it a lot. Loved how fresh the lime juice and cilantro made this taste.
