Ingredients & Equipment Used In This Recipe

While most ingredients can be bought in grocery stores, for your convenience, any specialized or notable ingredients and equipment needed for this recipe have been linked to Amazon or other stores if available online. Staple ingredients such as oil, salt, sugar, etc., aren’t always included here as you’re likely to have those in your kitchen. The complete list of ALL ingredients with measurements is found on the recipe card.

• Fresh Produce – Limes, Oregano, Rosemary, Garlic
• Protein – Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
• Apple Cider Vinegar

Recipes on The Purple Pumpkin Blog use both cup measurements and/or weighted measurements. American cups and kitchen food scales are handy pieces of equipment to have in your kitchen as it means you’ll be able to make all of the different recipes on my blog. I try to give American, imperial, and metric measurements in my recipes. Please note, you can mix cup measurements with weighted measurements, but never mix imperial (pounds, ounces, pints, etc.,) with metric (kilograms, grams, litres, etc.,).

Recipe Tips

• For best results, crush the fresh herbs with your fingers to release their oils before adding them to the marinade.
• Storing Leftovers: Cool and transfer to an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 4 days.
• Freezing: Cool and wrap the chicken breasts in freezer bags, freezer wrap, or cling film, and place in the freezer. It will last for up to 4 months, just be sure to allow it to thaw fully in the fridge overnight or using the ‘defrost’ setting on your microwave (make sure there are no frozen lumps or cold spots in the middle of the chicken) before reheating until piping hot. Label the package with the name of the dish and the date so you can keep track of your food storage.
