Pan Grilled Lime Chicken

When we were at the beach last month I had the best lime chicken. It was so good we thought about going back to that same restaurant the next night and when we did not, we were sad we hadn't. When we got home I set out to recreate the recipe. Mine, of course, was not as good because they were able to grill theirs over an open flame which made it sooo delicious and they used key limes, which my wallet could not afford. This is still some really good chicken. As you can see it is full of juicy flavor. I pan grilled the chicken but if you can grill it I suggest you do. It would make it even yummier. We ate it with the fresh corn salsa I posted a few weeks ago.
