Baked Garlic-Lime Chicken Breasts

By Johanna

Ingredients

• 1/4 c. fresh lime juice
• 1/4 c. olive oil
• 8-10 garlic cloves, finely minced
• Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
• 8 chicken breast halves with skin and bones

Preparation

Step 1

1. In a large ziplock style plastic bag, combine lime juice, oil and garlic; season generously with salt and pepper. Add chicken and seal bag, removing as much air from bag as you can. Marinate chicken, turning bag over once or twice, at least 2 hours at room temperature and up to 24 hours in refrigerator.

2. Preheat oven to 400 degree F.

3. Remove chicken from marinade; discard marinade. Arrange skin side up, without crowding in a shallow baking pan. Season chicken with salt and pepper and roast in upper third of oven until just cooked through, 25-30 min.

4. Change oven setting to broil and broil chicken about 2 inches from heat until skin is crisp, about 2 min.
