Garlic Lime Chicken and Fresh Greens

This recipe gets a great review. From its simplicity to prepare to its full flavor and gorgeous color, it was an all-around star. I loved the caramel color the chicken took on after grilling and the aroma of limes was reminiscent of the shores of Mexico. Garlic Lime Chicken made me want to put on my chicest sundress and sip a Corona. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I did.

Ingredients
Serves two, but double the recipe for four
Two boneless, skinless chicken breasts (thawed)
1/4 cup soy sauce
4 tbsp. fresh or bottled lime juice
1/2 tbsp. ground mustard
1/2 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped

Directions
Mix soy sauce, lime juice, mustard, Worcestershire sauce and garlic . In a container with a lid (or plastic zipper bag), combine liquid with chicken breasts . Allow to marinade at least 30 minutes (I left mine 5 hours) . Remove chicken from marinade . Use a gas or charcoal grill OR a grill pan to cook chicken until no longer pink (approximately 6 to 8 minutes on each side depending on thickness)

Fresh Greens to Accompany Chicken

Ingredients
4 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
1 medium carrot, diced or cut into ribbons (using a peeler)
1/2 cup cooked corn (fresh, frozen or canned)
1/4 cup pepper jack cheese, shredded
Dressing of your choice (Note: pairs well with a Ranch-style dressing)
Garnished with lime wedges

Directions
Combine all ingredients . Enjoy
