lil carb Ginger Lime Chicken

Chicken marinades are my favorite things to create because with a good marinade you can totally transform chicken to be any flavor you want.  Definitely fun and SO easy.  This marinade was made with a few fresh ingredients- which are right up my alley- and it is the perfect dinner for a summer night.  I like to make this with my coconut cauliflower rice- it is heavenly!  Make this recipe and you will likely add it to your dinner rotation!

Ginger Lime Chicken- Serves 4
1/3 cup olive oil
2 Tbsp fresh chopped ginger, skin removed and chopped
2 Tbsp fresh chopped garlic
2 limes, zested
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
2 large chicken breasts cut in half lengthwise or 4 small chicken breasts

In a small bowl or measuring cup add in your oil, ginger, garlic, lime zest, salt and pepper. Then add in the juice of both limes. Whisk everything together well.
Put your chicken in a baking dish or a resealable plastic bag and pour almost all the marinade in. Reserve about 3 tablespoons of marinade.
mix the chicken around so that it is well coated in the marinade and then refrigerate for 2 hours or preferably overnight.
*If you only have 30 minutes you can still make this! The flavor will not be as strong but it is still do-able!

After the chicken has marinaded grill it, bake it, sauté it, whatever you prefer and then... ENJOY!

This chicken goes phenomenally with my lil carb Basil Coconut Cauliflower Rice! Just take a look at how perfect that looks! IT tasted even better if you can believe it!
