Filling:

2/3 cups fresh lime juice
2 cans sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup sour cream

Cool; garnish with lime and serve with whipped cream.

This pie is sooooooooo good!!!! :0) :0) 

grilled key lime chicken

Lots of leftover limes from the wedding, so I've been scouting Pinterest for some good recipes. I found a winner today......grilled key lime chicken.

Here's the recipe: 

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts 

1/4 cup soy sauce

1/4 cup honey

2 tsp. minced garlic

juice from 2 limes

2 T. olive oil

limes for garnish

1) cut chicken into one inch squares

2) mix together soy sauce, honey, garlic, lime juice, and oil in a small bowl.

3) place chicken in a gallon ziploc bag or plastic container with lid and cover with marinade. Let marinade for at least 30 minutes.

4) slide chicken on skewers; alternate with lime- cut in thin slices. 

5) baste with sauce and grill for 10 minutes, turning once.

Serve over rice. 

I cooked plain white rice, but Peter added a little soy sauce, honey, lime juice, and lime zest. VERY GOOD!!!! 

We'll be having this again....soon
