I added a cup or so of frozen cubed mango and a handful of chopped cilantro to brighten up the flavour. This was a quick and easy dinner and everyone enjoyed it!

Originally made this from the issue in Sept 2005 and have made it several times since. Easy, tasty and versatile. I mix up spices the night before and is very quick to put together after a long day at work.
I add chopped fresh cilantro and cashews.
Since I watch my carbs, usually have over soy noodles or with romaine lettuce.
Very enjoyable and tasty!!

Absolutely delicious!! Simple to put together and the lime flavour was fantastic. I put aside the chicken pieces for my kids before I deglazed my pan though, as they wouldn't have enjoyed the strong tartness of the lime juice.
