I'm always on the lookout for quick and easy recipes for chicken breast, so I was mighty happy when a reader left this comment on my post for grilled Mustard Lime Chicken:
Fantastic chicken! Our son was just diagnosed with Celiac Disease about one month ago, and I have to tell you that your recipes have been such a help. We all loved the chicken, and I ended up baking it at 350 until it was cooked (25-30 minutes) since it rained the day I made it and couldn't use the grill- flavor was still excellent! Thank you!

This recipe for chicken breast is full of flavorful lime and cilantro, and when you bake it (rather than grilling) the flavors have a chance to entirely infuse the dish. Thanks for this excellent suggestion Ana!
I don't know if your children will like this easy chicken dish; I can tell you that mine gobble it up every time I make it. If you're looking for healthy recipes for dinner, look no further, this chicken is it.
Healthy chicken recipes are a dinnertime staple in our house. Some of my other favorites include:
On another note, spring is here. It is 70 degrees today in Boulder and my garden is exploding with color (and flavor). The rhubarb plants are coming up, bulbs are blooming and the lettuce and kale in my cold frame are going wild.
I'm thinking of making a Paleo strawberry rhubarb crisp for Easter this year. Are you getting in the spring mood? If so, what do you like to cook when it gets warmer outside?

Has anyone tried this without the cilantro? No one in this house likes it- at all! But, the rest looks great!
Lydia, I haven’t tried that but would love to hear your results if you experiment :-)
This continues to be a staple dinner in our family! Our young kids even love it, and it’s always received well by guests. With several newfound food sensitivities and a Low-Fodmap diet in the house now, this recipe is just what the doctor ordered! Thank you, Elana.
