Our family loves the fresh taste of lime and incorporate it in many of our dishes. This easy recipe for Lime Tortilla Crusted Baked Chicken is a new family favourite. An easy dinner and the leftovers make delicious wraps for school lunches. It’s easy to plan for your week’s meals using the fantastic Chicken Farmers of Canada Shopping App available for Apple and Android devices.
This month Chicken Farmers of Canada are celebrating chicken dishes dressed with a rub, marinade or sauce. While we all like plain chicken, it is so much tastier when it’s not naked. Join us in celebrating #NoNakedChicken.
