Baked Mustard Lime Chicken

Baked Mustard Lime Chicken

as adapted from elanaspantry.com

1 pound skinless chicken breasts

1/2 cup lime juice

1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1/4 cup dijon mustard

1 tablespoon grapeseed oil

1 tablespoon chili powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

Combine lime juice, cilantro, mustard, oil, chili powder, salt and pepper in a food processor.  

 

Pulse until ingredients are well combined.  Rinse chicken breasts, pat dry and place in a Pyrex dish.  Pour marinade over chicken, cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes or up to 6 hours.  

Bake at 350 degrees for 18-20 minutes uncovered, or until instant read thermometer reads 165 degrees.  

Serve with extra sauce spooned over top.  I served it over jasmine rice with a side of steamed broccoli and it was DEEEEE-licious!

Oh and I threw on some fresh cilantro for a garnish but that is mainly because I LOVE CILANTRO!!
