Amazing Chicken Marinade

I used 4 large thick chicken breasts and made the marinade as suggested with the exception on the length of time to marinate. I didn't have 8 hours to spare so the chicken marinated for 3.5 hours. I didn't find it to sweet as some reviewers did (maybe I have a sweet tooth) or it had to due with how long it actually marinated for. I grilled the chicken on a Cuisinart grill for approx. 10 minutes and it turned out perfect, delicious, juicy and enough flavor to please the family. I will definitely be making this again. I served with oven roasted asparagus, rice pilaff, and salad. DD's friend even had seconds.

family thought this was pretty good but I agree with others who suggest to double the garlic and/or cut amount of sugar...without this it is a little too sweet 9and not savory enough) for my tastes

Really very good, and easy to make with things you probably have on hand already (except the lime, in my case). I only marinated the chicken for 40 minutes, because I'd heard that any marinade with lime should be used for 1 hour or less for the sake of texture. The chicken was flavorful, juicy, and tender! Next time I may up the marinating time to 1 hour, but I'll probably max out at that level just because I can. I served it to my husband and 2 year old with oven roasted red potatoes, white corn, and crusty bread. Even the 2 year old liked it! Not overly citrusy or vinegary - just savory and just the right amount of sweet. Delicious! Thanks for posting!

This produced very moist chicken, but was a bit too sweet for me. I thought the acids would balance the sweetness but not so. Next time, I would just add 1/4 of the sugar and add more garlic.
