Cooking Tools Required

9x13 inch glass baking dish, Cutting board, Dutch Oven, Kitchen towels, Measuring cups and spoons, Oven, Plastic food wrap, Sharp Knives, Skillet, Tongs

Ingredients

3 tablespoon avocado oil
10 boneless skinless chicken breast small, 1 breast per serving

For the marinade

4 lime zested, then juiced
4 tablespoon avocado oil
6 clove garlic minced
1 teaspoon salt more or less to taste, or preference
2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoon crushed red pepper

To garnish

1/2 cup Italian parsley chopped
4 lime sliced

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl or glass measuring cup, whisk together all the ingredients for the marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish that’s just big enough to accommodate them in a single layer and then pour the marinade right over. Turn until all the chicken breasts are evenly coated, cover with plastic film and place in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 1 hours.
Preheat your oven to 375° F.
In a large, heavy skillet, heat avocado oil over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot enough, add the chicken breasts, 2 or 3 at a time, and sear for a minute or two on each side, until nice and golden brown.
Place the seared chicken breasts in a Dutch oven or other oven safe dish with a tight fitting lid and repeat with the remaining chicken breasts.
Pour the remaining marinade over the chicken breasts, put the lid on and and bake in the oven for 25 minutes, then remove the lid and continue cooking for another 5 minutes to crisp up the chicken.

Reheating Instructions

Place a sauté pan over medium heat and add chicken, and cook until heated through.
