Lime Chicken
Lime Chicken
Pollo con LimónCarlos O'Brien's in the Zona Rosa section of Mexico City is a lively place to dine and is one of Carlos Anderson's many popular restaurants throughout Mexico. The area has long had elegant restaurants and hotels, and this menu offers some innovative and interesting Mexican dishes, including Pollo con Limón, which I recreated at home. The chicken goes well with black beans and just about any fruit salsa.
