Bella Jarrett
Gourmet Cookbook

1/4 Cup Fresh Lime Juice
1/4 Cup Olive Oil
1 Tablespoon Garlic, minced
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
1/4 Teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper
2 Pounds Chicken Breast Halves, rinsed and patted dry

Whisk together lime juice, oil, garlic, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add chicken, turning to coat. Marinate chicken, covered and refrigerated, turning once or twice, for at least 2 hours.

Put a rack in tipper third of oven and preheat oven to 400F. Remove chicken from marinade (discard marinade) and arrange skin side up, without crowding, in a shallow baking pan. Season with salt and pepper. Roast until just cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes.

Turn oven to broil. Broil chicken about 2 inches from heat until skin is Crisp, about 2 minutes. The chicken can marinate for up to 8 hours.
