Garlic Lime Chicken

My friend CS gave this recipe to me. We made it about a week ago and it was really good. The chicken was super moist. Great for more variety with grilling.

6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/4 c. fresh lime juice
1/3 c. soy sauce
2 cloves garlic, pressed
1/2 tsp. dry mustard

Combine soy sauce, lime juice and dry mustard in small bowl; mix well. Rinse chicken and pat dry. Place chicken in large plastic ziplock bag and pour marinade mixture into bag over chicken; making sure all pieces of chicken are covered. Marinade in refrigerator for one hour. Grill.

Chocolate Frosting


I modified a few chocolate frosting recipes to get this one and it turned out really good.

1 c. butter, softened
8 c. powdered sugar
1/4-1/2 c. milk
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 c. cocoa powder
1 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted

Cream butter and sugar, adding milk 1 tbsp. at a time until desired consistency. Mix in vanilla. Melt chocolate chips in microwave, 20 seconds at a time then stir, then 20 seconds again until chocolate is just melted. Do not let chocolate get too hot; only microwave until barely melted. Drizzle chocolate into icing mixture and continue to mix. Add 1/2 c. cocoa. Mix well.
