Tangy, Baked Honey Lime Chicken is a delicious meal that features all white meat, bite-sized chicken pieces coated in a delicious, sweet and tangy sauce. This sweet and savory protein is delicious when served over white rice, mashed potatoes, or french fries.

After stocking up on lots of chicken I have been creating an abundance of tasty recipes. Some turn our to be just okay, but others become regular staples.
I have to admit, the Tangy, Baked Honey Lime Chicken I made last week was a complete hit!
If you love the flavors of lime and honey then this baked recipe is for you! You will also save on calories because it is not fried and coating in tons of oil. The lime, and honey give it a slightly golden brown crust and coat it in a sweet and sticky sauce.
The flavors especially paired well with some fresh broccoli florets and brown rice. Plus, it was a good post gains kind of meal if you are into the whole fitness thing like my husband.

I made this for dinner tonight and thought it was delicious. I followed the recipe exactly. I used onion powder, not fresh onion. My husband added fresh pineapple on top of his meal and it was very tasty. I served it with fresh green beans and jasmine rice. Thanks for your wonderful recipe.? Definitely making this again!
