Katie Hale is sharing her recipe for Chili Lime Chicken with Sour Cream Sauce with us today:
This dish is very reminiscent of one of my favorite dishes to get at Red Lobster. The chili lime sauce is mild yet very flavorful. If you like it a little hotter, you can easily use a hotter pepper, but in our house we like flavor over heat. This is best served with a rice pilaf or Spanish rice as well as a few tortilla chips and black beans or corn.
