Marinated Lime Chicken


Ingredients:
3 chicken breast fillets, diced
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 tbsp lime juice
1 tbsp white wine vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil
2 teaspoons fresh basil finely sliced

Method:
Pre-heat oven to 175 degrees Celsius. Squeeze limes into a medium sized bowl. Stir in vinegar, olive oil, basil and pepper. Place diced chicken into a ziplock bag. Pour lime sauce over top; seal and marinate two hours in fridge. To cook, pour marinade into small saucepan. Heat to boiling. Place chicken pieces into shallow oven-proof dish. Pour hot marinade over chicken. Bake for 20 – 25 minutes or until chicken is tender and cooked through. Serves 6.

Notes:
You can substitute lemon juice for the lime juice, reduce to 3 tablespoons.
Thread the chicken onto bamboo skewers before marinating then cook as directed for a different way of serving.
