Chili Lime Chicken Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Cinco de Mayo Recipes. (Chili Lime Chicken Recipe). This recipe combines many of the spices that I grew up with and that have become a distinctive part of much of my cooking including dishes such as chili Colorado, posole, and Frontera™ style carne asada. I would describe this dish as more Tex-Mex or New Mexican than Mexican. Serve on a bed of rice or slice thinly for use in tacos or to top a green salad.
