Chili Lime Chicken

Hello from California! I found this recipe in one of Andy's mom's cook books. I'm excited to try it, and its healthy!

Ingedients

For the chicken:

2-6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
4 oz chicken broth
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp chili powder
1-2 limes, freshly squeezed

For the Salsa:

1 plum tomato
3 tbsp fresh cilantro
A dash of chili powder and garlic powder
5 tbsp chopped onion
1 lime freshly squeezed

Other:

1 cup brown rice (cooked according to directions on packaging)
1 medium stalk of broccoli steamed
1 oz blue cheese

Directions:

1. Take a zipper storage bag big enough for the chicken, chicken broth, lime, chili powder and garlic powder.

2. Mix the spices, lime juice and the chick broth together, add the chieck and let it set for 1-2 hours.

3. When it is done, you can either BBQ it or bake it. While the chicken is cooking, start your rice.

4. Prepare the broccoli to steam

5. Start ont eh fresh salsa, dice the tomato, add chopped onion and cilantro and the dash of chili powder and garlic powder and lime juice.

6. Start your broccoli steaming about 10 minutes before the chicken is done.

7. When everything is ready, start the plating with 1/2 cup of rice, lay your chicken over the top of the rice, put half of the blue cheese on your chicken, and top with the fresh salsa.

8. Add the broccoli and serve

Note: The recipe mentions that the flavor of the chicken can be really strong! It may take a couple of tries to get it how you like it! Also, I would skip out on the blue cheese, but I know Andy would like it.
