Recipe by Elena Amsterdam
 
This recipe for chicken breast is full of flavorful lime and cilantro, and when you bake it (rather than grilling) the flavors have a chance to entirely infuse the dish. Thanks for this excellent suggestion Ana!
 
I don't know if your children will like this easy chicken dish; I can tell you that mine gobble it up every time I make it. If you're looking for healthy recipes for dinner, look no further, this chicken is it.
 
 
 
INGREDIENTS
 
1/2 cup fresh lime juice 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped 1/4 cup Dijon mustard 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 tablespoon chili powder 1/2 teaspoon sea salt 1/2 teaspoon pepper 
 
1 pound skinless boneless chicken breast
 
 
 
DIRECTIONS
 
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Combine the lime juice, cilantro, mustard, olive oil, chili powder, salt, and pepper in a food processor and pulse until ingredients are well combined.
Rinse the chicken breasts, pat dry, and place in a 7-by-11-inch Pyrex baking dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, cover, and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes or up to 6 hours.
Bake in the oven for 18-20 minutes uncovered, or until an instant-read thermometer reaches 165 degrees. Serve with the extra sauce spooned on top.
