Low Carb Recipe for Chicken Breasts with Lime

Taking the five minutes to marinate this chicken in the morning or the night before, makes a quick and delicious chicken for lunch or dinner, that is amazingly moist, with a hint of lime and ginger flavor. Well worth the time and effort!

1 lime
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tbsp ginger
5 drops of stevia or 1 tbsp sugar substitute
2 chicken breasts (3/4 lbs total)
pepper to taste

Place lime in microwave for 20-30 second (helps with the juicing process). Cut in half, and squeeze juice from lime into a ziplock bag.

Combine in the ziplock bag the following: soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and sweetener. Place chicken breasts into the bag and coat well. Place in fridge and marinate at least 3 hours. (or overnight)

When ready to cook, take chicken out of marinate and cook until juices are clear. Marinate can be used for only the first few minutes to brush on the chicken, then must be discarded. (To insure that is it cooked well, and is not cross contaminating the chicken)

Serve.
