Wow KUW, this is amazing! I let it marinate approx 24 hours (prepped night before) but forgot to put the lime in at that point, so added in right before cooking. The SMELL, it was driving me crazy I couldn't wait to eat it. Served per your suggestion on rice, put some saffron in it and used red kidney beans since I didn't have any black beans on hand. What a winner. Made for Photo tag Spring 2013.

Very good and unique-tasting. It's really loaded with lime flavor, which I loved. I sauteed the chicken with some sliced bell peppers, and served everything on black bean & coconut rice. Tasted very tropical and delicious! [Made & Reviewed for Rookie Recipes]
