This recipe offers a delightful twist on lime chicken, combining zesty flavors with tender chicken and savory mushrooms.
Combine the fresh lime juice and extra virgin olive oil in a mixing bowl.
Use freshly squeezed lime juice for the best flavor.
Dip the chicken pieces into the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated.
Let the chicken sit in the marinade for a few minutes to absorb the flavors.
Preheat the oven to broil and line a baking pan with foil.
Position the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source for even cooking.
Arrange the marinated chicken on the prepared baking pan, sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper.
Ensure the chicken pieces are in a single layer for even broiling.
Broil the chicken for 15 minutes, then turn the pieces over and pour the remaining marinade on top.
Keep an eye on the chicken to prevent overcooking.
Broil for another 15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
Check doneness by ensuring the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
In a pan, melt the butter and sauté the sliced mushrooms until tender.
Cook the mushrooms over medium heat to avoid burning the butter.
Top the broiled chicken with the sautéed mushrooms and serve warm.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley for added color and flavor.
