Lemon-Lime Chicken

Tried this recipe on the weekend and my wife and I both loved it.  Thought it deserved a post!

3 pounds cut-up chicken, light or dark meat or any combination
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup lime juice
1/4 cup dry white wine (I used a rose, and that worked too)
1/4 cup olive oil
2 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
1 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1 tsp tobasco sauce
1/4 tsp dried thyme

put chicken into a bag with all other ingredients.  marinade all day or overnight.  flip over the bag once in a while if you think of it.

preheat oven to 400 F
pour marinade into a bowl
arrange the chicken in a roasting pan
roast for 45 minutes, basting a few times with the reserved marinade.  chicken is done when it is well browned and the juices run clear.

This is a Brazilian fish recipe that was made for my wife's wedding shower.  I got to eat some of the leftovers, and I asked for the recipe.  It was very good.

8 pieces of tilapia
juice of 1 lemon
1 large red onion, cut into round slices
1 large red pepper, cut into round slices
1 large green pepper, cut into round slices
1 large ripe tomato, cut into round slices
2 tblsp fresh cilantro, chopped
200 ml of coconut milk
1 tblsp olive oil
2 tblsp shrimp broth (or vegetable broth)

wash the fish and sprinkle with lemon juice, leave to marinade for about an hour.
add the fish and vegetables to a large pan
sprinkle cilantro
pour coconut milk, olive oil and broth over the fish
cook partially covered, carefully stirring occasionally (do not break the fish pieces), over low heat for 20 minutes.
Remove from heat and serve.

This tastes really good with the coconut milk served over a bed of rice.
