Ingredients
- 4 large chicken breasts skinless, boneless
- 1 lime cut into edges
Marinade
- 6 green onions chopped
- 1 onion chopped
- 3-4 habanero peppers (or jalapeno if desired) seeds and membranes removed
- ¾ cup soy sauce
- ½ cup distilled white vinegar
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
- ½ teaspoon ground cloves
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon ground allspice
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions
