Cilantro Lime Chicken

This recipe was so easy and delicious that I really don't have much to say about it.  I pretty much followed the recipe, only doubling the onions and garlic because we love those flavors.  The hubby even loved it, and the recipe is so versatile: burrito, taco, over rice, over a Mexican-inspired salad, on its own with steamed veggies....  Although I didn't eat it with a tortilla, the hubby made a burrito and claimed that it was delicious.  This was so good that I looked forward to eating the leftovers, and I ALMOST moved them to the front of the line; however, others were waiting patiently first.  I claimed the leftovers as mine and devoured them.
