food. sweet chili + lime chicken, chickpea salad.

We made both of these recipes these last week - another staple for dinner that quick and easy. I found the Donna Hay recipe from a magazine at my office (who knew it would be a sign that we would move to Australia.)

1. Mix sweet chilli sauce, lime juice, and olive oil together in a small bowl.
2. Pour mixture over chicken (in a zip lock or tupperware).
