Ingredients
1. For the marinade
2. For cooking
Step-by-Step Method
Mix the marinade
In a bowl, whisk together lime juice, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, thyme, black pepper, allspice, and salt until well combined.
Coat the chicken
Add the chicken fillets and turn them so every side is covered. If you can, let it sit for 10–15 minutes; refrigerate if resting longer.
Set up for cooking
Heat the oven to 200°C (390°F). If using a skillet, warm a large pan over medium-high heat. Keep any extra marinade to use during cooking.
Cook
Oven method: Arrange chicken on a tray, spoon the remaining marinade over, and bake about 20–25 minutes until fully cooked. Skillet method: Cook 5–7 minutes on the first side, then 4–6 minutes on the second; simmer the leftover marinade in the pan for 1–2 minutes to slightly thicken.
Rest and serve
Let the chicken rest for 3–5 minutes, then slice. Spoon the warm pan sauce over the top. Serve with rice, salad, or roasted vegetables.
