Now, I can’t promise your kids will love this dish, but mine devour it every time. If you’re after a healthy dinner option, this chicken is definitely worth a try.

Cooking Time: 25 the minutes

Total: 1 Hour

Ingredients

  • 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 ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Start by combining the lemon juice, cilantro, mustard, olive oil, chili, salt, and pepper in a food processor.

    Give it a few pulses until everything’s well mixed.

    Next, wash the chicken breasts, pat them dry, and place them in a 7 x 11-inch baking pan.

    Pour the marinade over the chicken, cover the pan, and let it chill in the fridge for at least 15 minutes, or up to 6 hours if you have the time.

    When you’re ready to cook, bake the chicken uncovered at 350°F for 25-30 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer hits 165°F.

    Once done, serve the chicken with the cooked sauce spooned on top. Enjoy!
