HONEY KEY LIME GRILLED CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a resealable plastic bag, mix the key lime juice, honey, garlic, and lemon pepper. Place the chicken in the bag, seal, and shake to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator at least 30 minutes, turning the bag occasionally.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat.
• Grill the marinated chicken about 8 minutes on each side, until no longer pink and juices run clear. Discard remaining marinade.

KEY LIME BARS (LOW FAT)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Combine cracker crumbs with brown sugar. Lay a sheet of foil in a 8 x 8 square baking pan, with the sides overhanging the edges. Tuck sides under. Spray foil-lined base with butter-favored cooking spray.
• Press crumb mixture into pan. Briefly spray cooking spray on top, and press again.
• In a medium bowl, beat light cream cheese until softened. Add lime zest and condensed milk. Beat until smooth. Add lime juice and beat until well blended.
• Pour lime mixture on to crumb base. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until center is just set and edges pull away a little. Allow to cool. Chill for at least 2 hours. Cut into 16 bars.

CROCK POT GARLIC LIME CHICKEN

Steps:

• Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper and arrange on the bottom of your slow cooker insert.
• Arrange carrots over the chicken. Set aside.
• In a small mixing bowl combine lime juice, soy sauce, worcestershire sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and garlic; whisk until thoroughly combined.
• Pour over chicken and veggies; close with a lid.
• Cook on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours or on LOW for 6 to 7 hours.
• Spoon 2 tablespoons liquid from the slow cooker into a bowl and whisk cornstarch into the liquid until well combined.
• Stir the cornstarch mixture back into the slow cooker.
• Continue to cook on high until the sauce thickens, about 20 to 30 minutes.
• Garnish chicken with toasted sesame seeds and cilantro.
• Serve over rice with a side of steamed broccoli.

KEY LIME PIE TARTLETS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray 12 cups of a nonstick mini muffin pan with cooking spray.
• For the crust: Place the graham crackers in a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Add the sugar and salt and pulse to combine. With the motor running, drizzle in the butter and process until the mixture resembles damp sand. Divide the mixture evenly among 12 cups of the prepared muffin tin (about 1 1/2 tablespoons for each cup) and use a shot glass or your fingers to press it evenly into the bottom and up the sides. Bake until browned and firm to the touch, about 10 minutes. Set aside while you prepare the filling. (If the crusts fell during baking, you can reform them while they are still hot with a lightly greased shot glass or the back of a lightly greased small spoon.)
• For the filling: Beat together the yolks and lime zest in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until the yolks have lightened in color and thickened slightly, about 1 minute. Add the condensed milk and lime juice and beat until combined. Divide the mixture evenly among the tartlet crusts in the muffin pan, filling just below the top of each crust. Bake just until the filling has set, about 6 minutes. Place the pan on a wire rack to cool for about 30 minutes. Remove tarts from the pan (a small offset spatula works well here) and refrigerate until cold, at least 1 hour.
• Just before serving, beat the cream, confectioners' sugar and vanilla in a large bowl with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Dollop the whipped cream on top of the tartlets and sprinkle with the lime zest.
