Recipe of the Day

I just cooked and ate this the other night, it was absolutely delicious and I highly recommend it!

Italian Lime Chicken

1 boneless, skinless chicken breast
1/8 cup lime juice (Lime juice lasts for a very long time if you keep it in your fridge, it's a great flavoring for a lot of dishes, as well as seltzer)
1/2 one ounce package dry Italian salad dressing mix (Tastes pretty good, works as a decent marinade and makes good italian dressing if you like italian dressing!)
1/8 cup butter, melted (1/4 stick)

1. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, however much you think you'll like (I had a decent amount, as it also washes off a bit in step two) and place it in a shallow baking dish (I used a pyrex dish we have)

2. Combine the lime juice, salad dressing mix, and melted butter and then pour over the chicken, covering it generously (a lot of this will go on the bottom of the dish, that's good, you want the chicken to cook in these juices)

3. Cover and back at 325 degrees for one hour (We did not have a cover for our baking dish so I simply used a basic cooking sheet, though aluminum foil would work too). Remove cover for last 15 minutes of cooking time.

This dish goes great with your vegetable of choice, I personally had a salad. Come back tomorrow for my first book review!
