Honey Lime Chicken Sandwiches


Honey Lime chicken. Yup. Those flavors are kind of..tropical? I dunno. A lot of Mexican, South American, Caribbean foods include those flavors. So you can do JUST honey and lime, or add some other flavors to make it more elaborate. I added garlic and cumin. Mmm. To go along with a sandwich, there's nothing better than chips. Why not make your own?

Ingredients:
Chicken breasts (enough to feed everyone)
1/4 cup lime juice (juice of two limes)
1/2 cup honey
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Bread or a bun for each sandwich
Cheese if desired (I used Swiss)
Any other fixin's you want (lettuce, tomato, etc)
Potatoes for chips (1 potato should be enough for 1-2 people)

Directions:
Wash the potatoes. You can peel them if you really want, but I think leaving the skins on is good. Using a mandolin or veggie slicer (they are sometimes on the side of a cheese grater), if you have one, slice the potatoes as thinly as you can. If you don't have a slicer or mandolin, just use a sharp knife and slice them as thinly as possible. Place the potatoes in a single layer on a greased baking sheet. Cook in a 450 degree preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes, then flip over the potatoes to cook the other side for about 10-15 minutes. When they're done, sprinkle with salt immediately, so it will stick to the chips. Set aside to cool.

In a bowl, mix together the honey, lime juice, cumin, and garlic. Marinate the chicken in it for a minimum of 15 minutes, overnight if you'd like. Grill or bake until chicken is cooked through. Slice semi-thinly and place on bread or a bun to make the sandwich. Add any cheese, or fixin's you'd like. Serve with the chips and enjoy!
