Everyone that has tried my Mexican Lime Chicken absolutely falls in love with it. It’s perfectly sweet, spicy and zesty with juicy chicken breasts marinated and cooked in olive oil combined with crushed coriander seeds, grated lime zest, paprika, muscovado sugar, lime juice, garlic and fresh red chilis. Have I forgotten anything? Keep it low carb and serve it with salad and salsa!

You'll need some milk beside you if you don't do well with spicy things but this dish is worth all the effort and tongue burning haha.

Gluten free and lactose free makes this so much better since most people i know are allergic to both. Good thinking on this dish 10 stars at hart from me.

Devoured this way too fast, the smell was heavenly and the taste was pure deliciousness, can't way to share the crowd pleaser with the fam.

Not bad at all though lemon goes better than lime, lime makes it taste kinda bitter.

Love me some Mexican food! I made sure to try this out alongside the apple churros for dessert, both were AMAZING!! always super flavorful in the Hispanic culture <3

Too spicy in my opinion, I couldn't handle it at all.

Kaleigh Lemert

Spices were great, maybe a little harsh on the tastebuds but tasty nonetheless.

Takes a while to roast but worth the time just for the taste.
