Baked Mustard Lime Chicken


Instead of the traditional ham dinner for Easter, we switched it up with something different. You can do that when you're not visiting family or having anyone over for the Easter holiday (aka "being loners"). We tried this recipe that I found at Elana's Pantry. She has a fabulous website with ingenius recipes. I just love sites like that :)


• 1 pound skinless boneless chicken breast
• ½ cup fresh lime juice
• ½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• ¼ cup dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• ½ teaspoon celtic sea salt
• ½ teaspoon pepper

Combine lime juice, cilantro, mustard, olive oil, chili, salt and pepper in a food processor. Pulse until ingredients are well combined. Rinse chicken breasts, pat dry and place in a 7x11 inch baking dish. Pour marinade over chicken, cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes or up to 6 hours.
Bake at 350° for 18-20 minutes uncovered, or until an instant read thermometer reads 165°. Serve with extra sauce spooned over top.
Serves 4

This turned out really yummy, although I grilled the chicken instead of baking it. Enjoy!
