Two Fantastic Recipes, Plus Two Sandwichs!

I made some really fantastic chicken on Sunday, and then used the leftover chicken to make sandwiches for work yesterday and today. I also made some really awesome snacks, so I thought I would share the recipes.

Citrus Garlic Chicken

Ingredients:
Skin on, Bone in chicken Breasts
Lime (juice of, and zest) - if you are using more than 5 breasts, use 1 and 1/2 lime
Orange (juice of, and zest) - if you are using more than 5 breasts, use 1 and 1/2 orange
5 Garlic cloves (smash with side of knife)
Olive Oil
Salt
Pepper

Directions (so easy!):
Zest the Lime and orange into a pole. Squeeze the lime and lemon juice into the boil. Discard both (or eat, whatever floats yer boat). Add salt, pepper, and olive oil (I don't measure it, but make sure there is enough to coat the chicken). Add the garlic cloves. Mix thouroughly. Add the chicken and coat evenly with the mixture. Cover, refridgerate, and allow to marinate for 2-3 hours (don't leave it in any longer as lime juice will start to cook the chicken. I recommend marinating for an hour and a half).

Preheat oven to 375. Place chicken breasts on a wired roaster. I stuff the garlic cloves under the skin, then pour the remaining mixture over the chicken. Roast for around 45 minutes, or until juices run clear.
You can remove the skin before eating, it is just as good!!

Sandwich One:

Two thick slices of homemade bread
