Cilantro Lime Chicken Recipe

FINISH Chicken Skillet

I am ALL about skillet meals – especially in a cast iron skillet. I suggest if you do not have a cast iron skillet to purchase one ( you will fall in love)

For this recipe I am breaking away from my norm of using chicken breast and using chicken thighs mainly because of cost – got to keep it on a budget here! I was able to figure out the cost of this recipe to be $6.54 for a serving for 4 = $1.63 per serving which is right at my price point. I ended up serving this chicken with some plain white rice ( rice is a huge staple at my house) – the whole dinner was gluten free so everyone in my family could enjoy it.

What do you make dinner most nights? I am always cooking up a skillet meal at least 3 times per week

This is everything you will need – I know it seems like a lot of ingredients but it is SUPER easy to make and you most likely have everything you need in your pantry right now.
