Organizing a Quick Dinner - Spicy Garlic Lime Chicken

      
I love finding a recipe for a quick meal, don't you? Both my husband and I enjoyed it this recipe from AllRecipes, and I'll cook it again. I used chicken tenderloins, which made the cooking time even faster. Served with couscous and fresh veggies, dinner is on the table in a flash!
