Advice
When making lime chicken, it is important to ensure that the chicken is cooked properly. Start by marinating the chicken in a mixture of lime juice, garlic, and cilantro for at least an hour. Then, either bake or grill the chicken until it is cooked through. Once the chicken is cooked, you can add any additional seasonings or sauces you would like. Finally, serve the lime chicken with a side of your favorite vegetables and a squeeze of fresh lime juice for extra flavor.
