Chicken Lime Onion Recipe

Garlic Lime Skillet Chicken Recipe: An easy dinner for any night of the week. Fresh simple ingredients and creamy sauce! Spice it up as much as you like!

You can never really have too many simplechicken recipes, can you?We eatchicken for dinner several nights a week, soI’m always looking for new ways to spice things up.

Recently I made a pan-seared skillet chicken recipe for the kids that they absolutely loved. We called it Garlic Lime Skillet Chicken because I used fresh ingredients we always have on hand: lime, garlic, onions, and cilantro.

The Best Chicken Tacos

Once the skillet is hot, add the chicken breasts. Quickly sear the chicken in the skillet to give it a golden-brown crust. Then remove from the skillet.

Then add the onions, garlic, and grated jalapeno to the skillet. Saute to soften. Then add the chicken broth, lime juice, lime zest, chopped cilantro, paprika, and crushed red pepper. Let the chicken simmer in the sauce for several minutes to finish cooking.

You can certainly use chicken thighs in this garlic lime chicken recipe instead of chicken breast if you prefer! If the chicken thighs have the skin on, make sure to sear the skin side down until golden brown. Both chicken thighs and chicken breast should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 F!

The best skillet for this chicken recipe is a heavy bottom, large skillet. This will ensure an even heat distribution! Something like a cast iron skillet would be great but you can also use stainless steal or a nonstick pan of your choice.

It’s also an appealing leftover. Try slicing the Garlic Lime Skillet Chicken to top a salad or add to a wrap. Even served cold, this spicy tangychicken recipe is a winner!

This weekend I decided to try combining a few Asian ingredients to marinate some chicken thighs. To my marinade, I added green onion, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, cane sugar, sesame oil but with one twist: lime juice.

In Chinese cooking, they don't usually use lime juice as a source of acidity. They tend to use vinegar but I thought, Why not, let's give it a whirl and see where this goes.

To my surprise, my green onion lime chicken thighs worked out well!  There's a hint of every ingredient flavour in this dish and it pairs nicely with steamed white rice and some dark leafy greens like Bok or Yu Choy (you can find both at your Asian grocer).

Well I hope you give my Chinese Green Onion Lime Chicken recipe a try! It always excites me when you guys make my recipes and I hope this is one you try.
