Great tasting chicken! I followed the recipe except I cut it down to 2 servings. Didn't have a lime to serve it with. I refrigerated mine for 4 hours. Made for PAC Spring 2012.

Excellent chicken! This will go into my favorites file. I loved that you can marinate for 2 hours then cook it quickly on the grill. The marinade flavoring is so delicious and really comes through after the chicken is cooked. We ended up slicing the chicken and serving it over a salad. Thanks!

I printed the recipe before noticing the honey amount was missing....so subbed what I thought would fit. Since then, the poster edited the recipe......and wow! the amounts matched! This is delicious!

I used 3 skinless boneless breasts but did use the full quantities given for 4 and cooked in the frypan skillet and that took nearly 20 minutes to cook to the point there was no pink and we all thoroughly enjoyed the subtle taste of the dijon and the squeeze of fresh lime gives it a lovely flavour. Thank you Lori Mama, made for Everday A Holiday.
