Interesting flavour. Loved the lime taste. I baked it in the marinade with some crushed garlic. -
Oh, Momma!!! This is SO heavenly!! I would give it 100 stars if I could! I made this for dinner tonight...the rest of the family is still in there eating it! I had to rate it right away for you! I can't thank you enough for this recipe! I also made tomales, beans, spanish rice, guacamole and sour cream to go along! Oh my goodness!! Only, I made it with 8 boneless skinless chicken breasts (because I don't like skin). I have company over and everyone is giving it 2 thumbs up! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Will make this over and over again!! :O) -
Delicious chicken! Made this for 2, actually left the skin on the chicken just for this recipe. Baked it in the marinade. It was very good. Has a great lime flavor, we served this with baked potatoes and steamed broccoli. Thanks Friedel! -
This was superb!! I used 10 skinless, boneless chicken breasts and pounded them first. I kept to the some amount of sugar, 2 limes and 3 tablespoons of oil, 3 tsp. of coriander and paprika and the same amount of garlic and chillies as in the recipe, deeeelicious!! We definitely want this again and again, it was enjoyed by everyone. Thanks Friedel!

This was delicious! My boyfriend and I loved it. We will definately make this again, and often. After I baked it, I cut it up into peices and served it on some corn tortillas with some spanish rice and non-fat sour cream. I didn't have any chili's so I just sprinkled on some chili powder. I think this is the first recipe I've rated 5 stars! Thanx for the recipe!

This was pretty good. I substituted boneless skinless chicken breast and served with couscous. Very quick and easy.

This is a picture of me and my husband in Portugal, climbing up above the clouds with our bikes.
Right now we are travelling around the world on our bicycles, so I only pop onto Zaar occasionally, when internet connections and time allow me to. If I don't reply to a message about one of my recipes, now you know why! Our trip may take several years so if it's urgent, it's probably better for you to post in the forums ;)
Good food is really important to me -- I am happy to pay extra for food that I feel is produced in a sustainable and ethical way and always try to eat using seasonal produce.
When we were in the UK we rarely shopped at supermarkets, trying instead to favour small producers, although we were very lucky in that we lived in London and there was lots of choice.
We also were fortunate enough to have a weekly organic veg box delivered to our door, filled with so many lovely vegetables for very little money. It really opened my horizons in terms of the variety of vegetables I eat. If you're in the UK, check out Riverford for a box supplier as they're amazing!
When I'm not eating I love to take pictures and travel with my husband.
