Although tuna tacos seem odd, they are actually very good. These are now our go-to dish after I tossed them together one night for dinner. Serve with additional hot sauce, fresh cilantro, and sour cream if preferred.

tasted great & very easy…
This was easy, quick and very tasty. I made it exact to recipe and it turned out perfect. I only wished I had reduced the marinade as a sauce. Next time.
I combined this and the Chicken with Bouillon recipes. Excellent flavor!!!
Just great!
Honestly it did not seem all that flavorful with the marinade as is. If I had these at a restaurant I would have been disappointed.
I followed this to the T but was not real happy with the outcome. We found if kind of bland sorry to say.
Very good recipe…love how easy it is to make. I was looking for an alternative to breaded chicken and this fit the bill. Leftovers are great over salad.
The picky 14 yr old even liked it!
It was not tasty! And it was dry 🙁
this is so freaking delicious!
Delicious!! I loved it but my true barometer is when my kids ages3-6yrs all scarf it down! I made 2# of chicken worth and chopped the leftovers up for chicken salad sandwiches- equally delish!
I didn’t have lime juice but I added some pesto and some Cajun seasoning into the marinade and cooked with basil flavored olive oil! Yum
Marinate in a zip lok bag, so much easier. I’ve used this “recipe” for 30 years on the sailboat and camping. But generally we use boneless chicken breast, marinate at least overnight, and grill. Absolutely fool proof.
Oh my, this recipe is a keeper! I doubled the recipe for our family of 7 and they loved it and would have happily eaten more. Incredible flavor! We will have this again soon.
I made this exactly as the recipe says except I didn’t have lime juice so used lemon. I used homemade Italian dressing from this site and this came out wonderfully. My husband raved about it and wants it as a regular dish. It was very tasty and nice and moist on the inside.
It came out amazing. Love the flavor paired with some brown rice. Exceptional!
My bf and I are trying to eat healthier and we’ve been trying to find healthy chicken recipes to make and this what he requests for work! I make these with 1 1/2 cup veggies thank you for the recipe the only change we made was the fact I didn’t have limes I used lemon juice and also that I baked them
I made this for dinner tonight, and it’s definitely a 5 star dish, but I have to rate this 4 stars because it says to discard the extra marinade. DON’T THROW OUT THE EXTRA MARINADE! Throw the marinated chicken and all the marinade in the skillet, it looks like a lot of liquid, but it cooks down and caramelizes(about 30 minutes). The result is really flavorful, juicy chicken! I had a pound and a half of chicken, so I upped the zesty Italian dressing to 3/4 cup. I didn’t measure the lime juice or honey, but I probably used close to 2 tablespoons(maybe?) of each, which is just a personal preference. I served it with stove-top stuffing, lima beans and biscuits with honey butter…tasty, fast meal! I made an extra 1/2 pound of the chicken, just so I would have leftovers for lunch tomorrow, plan to put it on top of a salad, which I’m sure will be fabulous! I have to say this tastes WAY better than Cracker Barrel’s grilled chicken tenderloins…and costs a whole lot less! Thanks so much for the recipe! 🙂
These were so flavorful and moist. Used lemon juice instead of lime juice. My son loved it.
Taste pretty good, but was kinda dry. I used Balsamic Vinaigrette instead though.
I COOKED THIS FOR LUNCH TODAY AND MY HUSBAND LOVED IT!! THANKS FOR SHARING.
