This cilantro lime chicken dish was inspired by my lemon basil chicken recipe I made a couple months ago. I like a citrus-flavored chicken and decided to try substituting the lemon and basil with lime and cilantro. I can’t decide which one I like better! It’s nice to have a variety of recipes when you make as many chicken dishes as I do, so I’m happy to add the cilantro lime chicken with sautéed Brussels sprouts to the rotation.
Shopping List
- 1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
Chicken:

- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until internal temperature is 165°.
Brussels sprouts:
- Preheat pan on stovetop to medium heat

- Stir every few minutes to cook evenly

I’ve been slacking the last few months as far as preparing these amazing recipes, it is summer you know. Anyway I tried this one the other night and it was fantastic. I substituted asparagus for the Brussels sprouts and I also included a baked sweet potato. I like to spice things up occasionally. And they say variety is the spice of life. Well I hope everyone who follows this site tries this and the many other wonderful dishes that are posted. Please keep them coming and I will be sure to catch up.
