Fiesta Lime Chicken

Okay, this is in response to lunch today. I made this chicken when we were doing the South Beach diet. We just served it with a salad on the side. You could do veggies too if you would like. Or just serve it with rice. It does have some kick so be ware. (At least if you use Tabasco sauce)

   Great with rice!

I thought this would be good as a sandwich too. Just flatten out your chicken breast a little bit.
Serve on a bun with tomato, lettuce, jalapenos, extra sauce, whatever sounds good.

ENJOY!
