Serving Times You can prepare the chicken through step 2 up to 3
hours ahead. Refrigerate until ready to use. |
Money Savers When the price of
fresh limes is to high, you can substitute thawed frozen lime juice
instead. Or, try freshly squeezed lemon juice if you have it on hand for
a refreshing twist. |
Serving Variation
For a delicious change, you can substitute pork tenderloin
for the chicken. |
