EASY CILANTRO LIME CHICKEN RECIPE
All-star cilantro lime chicken recipe! Chicken thighs, prepared Mediterranean-style with a special spice mixture and cooked to tender perfection in a tasty garlic, lime and cilantro sauce. You can cook this in the oven (my preference) or in the slow cooker (see notes for instructions). Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs are my preference here, but you can use boneless thighs or even chicken breasts if you like. (Note that cooking time will change, and I've listed all the details in the post.)

QUAIL IN THE LIMELIGHT
A "company" perfect dish! This is a knockoff of the old recipe for Chicken in the limelight. My family loves that I have used it for quail. Can also be made with any game bird as well with Cornish Hens.
