Lime Herb Chicken with Garlic Parsley Potatoes

This past week was filled with easy main dish salads, sandwiches, and wraps. This Lime Herb Chicken with Baby Garlic and Parsley Taters is the only meal that required cooking this week!

Lime Herb Chicken with Baby Taters

It was a quick and easy meal...

I marinated the chicken strips in a combination of Italian dressing and lime juice for an hour or so and then seasoned them with a garlic and herb seasoning and pan fried them in a little light olive oil along with some thinly sliced green onions and fresh minced garlic.

Meanwhile I boiled the adorable tiny baby potatoes. Once they were fork tender and the chicken was cooked thoroughly, I removed the chicken to a hot platter, drained the taters and tossed them in the pan I had cooked the chicken in - with more minced garlic, butter and lots of parsley.

I served the chicken with extra lime, and garnished with additional green onions.

We loved the tangy chicken and the baby potatoes were so sweet - and absolutely delicious tossed with the garlic, butter, parsley and all the deglazed goodness. I served this with a salad and fresh homemade iced tea. Perfect summer meal!

    Sorry, I 'played' wrong - I thought they were supposed to be entries about our week not about food.

  14. You know how much I love citrus - well maybe you don't - I LOVE citrus and lime and chicken go together like peas and carrots in my book. And who doesn't love those tiny read potatoes? Yummy combo, Martha@
