Cooking Light's Citrus Chicken Cutlets

"This is a fast, easy, and healthy recipe that makes a very moist and flavourful chicken. If you double the marinade you can pour it over some rice and have a complete (and delicious) dinner. Also, if you have the time, let the chicken marinate for longer- it will be even juicier. The marinade would also work well with a mild fish. Recipe is from Cooking Light Magazine (October 2006)."

  1. Good citrus flavor- not too much or too little. I only gave 4 stars because my husband complained that the chicken was too dry. What does he expect from a healthy low-fat, low-carb recipe?
