I made this with boneless chicken thighs, but I am sure it would work with breasts, just make sure not to let it dry out. The marinade is very flavorful, but also light.

More power to you, so glad you have joined.
I was a Grocery Manager @ Grand Union before I retired and love shopping for bargains for dinner meals. My wife is amazed @ what I come up with for meals. This JOK should help the taste buds.
Have a Jewish wife who is reluctant to cook so I dive in 4-5 days a week and cook a delicious dinner for our family of 5. Love Jewish cooking the most ( I really don’t keep Kosher all the time ) so I signed up for your great recipes. Can’t wait for the magazine to stir my wife’s coking juices.
It was a very interesting flavor, went great with our homemade refried beans and spanish rice. I would rename it though to Lime Chicken with Cilantro as the lime was the most prominent flavor.
I love marinated chicken. Will definently be trying this.
