Whatcha gonna do about back to school weeknight dinners? I’ve got one for ya. Throw this together the morning of, or night before, and marinate in the fridge. When you get home, there’s nothin’ to it.
Hacks:
- If the chicken is packaged in an air chilled container or a poultry bag, leave the chicken breasts in there and add the rest of the ingredients to it, then mix, and marinate in the bag/container.
- To quickly juice the lime, cut in half, and stick a fork in one of the halves with one hand and turn and squeeze the lime with the other hand.
- Store-bought fajita or taco seasoning packet
