Grilled Chile Lime Chicken
Got this from the Betty Crocker website, thought it sounded yummy, better than a chicken breast marinated in the regular italian dressing. What's better is it sounds easy and the ingredients aren't "out there".
Grilled Chile-Lime Chicken
Fresh-tasting and flavorful, this chicken is a party in your mouth!
Prep Time:20 min
Start to Finish:50 min
Makes:4 servings
2 teaspoons grated lime peel
1/4 cup lime juice
1/4 cup olive or vegetable oil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 small jalapeño chile, seeded, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (1 1/4 lb)
1. To make marinade, in shallow glass or plastic dish, or resealable food-storage plastic bag, mix all ingredients except chicken.
2. Between pieces of plastic wrap or waxed paper, place each chicken breast smooth side down; gently pound with flat side of meat mallet or rolling pin until about 1/4 inch thick. Add chicken to marinade; turn to coat. Cover dish or seal bag; refrigerate at least 30 minutes but no longer than 24 hours.

I just had a salad like this from Applebee's tonight for dinner and YUM!! This kind of chicken served on a bed of baby spinach, roasted red peppers, red onions, and mushrooms with a tangy dressing. It had a few more calories (250) but 6 grams of fiber and only 6 grams of fat. It was on the Weight Watcher menu. Very filling and very good!0
