Lime Chicken Marinade

If you enjoy Mexican foods you probably know using plain chicken in your recipes can get old after awhile. Although, there is nothing wrong with using plain chicken, it may be time to add a marinade to your recipes. This lime chicken marinade is perfect for Mexican dishes such as quesadillas, tacos, or burritos. You can even grill the chicken breasts whole and eat them that way. The chicken should be marinated for at least 6 hours but overnight is recommended to get the most flavor. The marinade ingredients complement each other nicely. To give you an idea, some of the ingredients include red wine vinegar, lime juice, lime zest and garlic.




Ingredients:
1 ½ lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
¼ cup red wine vinegar
1 lime (juiced)
2 teaspoon white sugar
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
3 green onions (chopped)
4 garlic cloves (minced)
