Lime Grilled Chicken

My oh my was this delicious!!!!  Definitely making this a few times this summer.  It was so tasty.  I actually made this last week, but just got around to blogging and posting it now.  I was a little nervous about the chilies and wasn't sure I bought the right kind or was a little afraid that it would be too spicy.  I bought a green chili (not jalepeno, but I don't know what it was called).  I only used one and probably would have been fine to use the other one.  It wasn't spicy at all just yummy!!!!!
Jim was traveling when I made this so I just doubled the recipe.  I had large thick chicken breasts so I cut them in half to thin them out.  The recipe didn't say what to do with the limes so I just cut them up and squeezed the juice out.  If Jim had been here I probably wouldn't have added too much other than the extra chicken breast.  But I think there would have been more than enough marinade to cover the chicken.  You can marinate it for up to 12 hours, I only did it for about 30 minutes.
Marinated Grilled Lime Chicken

For 1 serving:
1 chicken breast
2 limes
3 garlic cloves
2 chilies
1 tablespoon olive oil
Add all ingredients (apart from the chicken) to a food processor. Pour into a Ziploc bag with the chicken breast, seal it and let it marinade in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
On a hot pan or grill, cook the chicken for around 5 minutes on each side, or until it’s cooked thoroughly.
