INGREDIENTS:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

• Salt and ground black pepper

• 1 tsp lime zest

• 2 Tbsp lime juice

• 2 Tbsp olive oil

• 2 tsp honey

• 2 tsp Sriracha sauce or hot sauce

• 1 tsp chopped fresh rosemary

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• Lime wedges

BEST CHICKEN DINNER RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Sprinkle both sides of the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper.

2. Place chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag set in a shallow dish. In a small bowl combine lime zest, lime juice, olive oil, honey, Sriracha sauce, rosemary and garlic. Pour half of the lime mixture over the chicken breasts. Cover and chill the remaining lime mixture. Seal bag; turn to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator 2 to 8 hours, turning bag occasionally. Drain breasts, discarding marinade.

3. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Place marinated chicken breasts in a shallow baking pan and bake for 25-30 minutes until the internal temperature reads 165 F when inserting a meat thermometer or there’s no visible pink meat when cutting into the thickest part of the chicken with a paring knife. Brush with reserved marinade 5 minutes before the end of baking time and allow chicken breasts to rest approximately 10 minutes before transferring to plates.

4. Serve with lime wedges and your favorite Vanity Fair® Paper Napkins. Enjoy with one of our dinner sides, like our delicious Bacon Brussels Sprout Recipe.
