Serves 4

  • 1 pound skinless boneless chicken breasts or tenders
  • ½ teaspoon fresh lime zest
  • ½ cup fresh lime juice (about 4 to 5 limes)
  • ½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • ¼ cup Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper (optional)

Combine lime zest through crushed red pepper (if using) in a blender or food processor, pulsing the marinade until all ingredients are well combined.

Place chicken in an 8 inch by 8 inch (or similar size) baking dish that has been sprayed with non-stick spray.  Pour the marinade over the chicken; cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes or up to 6 hours.

Bake at 350 degrees for 22 minutes uncovered, or until chicken internal temperature is 165 degrees.  Serve with extra sauce spooned over top.
