Ingredients

  • 4 limes divided
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 6 green onions chopped, divided
  • 4 cloves garlic minced, divided
  • 1/4 cup chopped basil
  • 3 pounds chicken breasts
  • jalapeno optional

Preparation

  1. Combine zest and juice of 2 limes, 3 tablespoons olive oil, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, 3 green onions, 2 garlic cloves, salt and pepper. Mix well.
  2. Cut chicken into cutlets and put into a ziplock bag. Pour marinade over. Marinate for minimum 2 hours (I do overnight).
  3. Place chicken on grill and grill for 7 minutes. Flip and cook until 170* internal temperature. Do not overcook as it will dry out! Remove from grill and rest.
  4. Combine juice and zest of 2 limes, with 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, 3 green onions, 2 minced garlic, jalapeno (I de-seed and remove white membrane) and 1/4 cup chopped basil.
  5. Slice chicken into bite-sized pieces and pour sauce over.
  6. Serve with rice or with Italian bread to sop up the sauce.
