Cooking Tips

• Make sure to marinate the chicken for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
• If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the chicken in a skillet or bake it in the oven.
• For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce to the marinade.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• The strawberry salsa is best enjoyed fresh, so it's recommended to make it right before serving.
• Serve the cilantro lime chicken with a side of rice or grilled vegetables for a complete meal.
