Instructions
Creating Grilled Chili Lime Chicken is an easy process when you follow these steps:
1. Prepare Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable bag or a shallow dish.
2. Make Marinade: In a bowl, mix lime juice, olive oil, honey, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
3. Marinate Chicken: Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it’s well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 15-30 minutes.
4. Preheat Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, heat it over medium-high heat on the stovetop.
5. Grill Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade and let the excess drip off. Place the chicken on the grill. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
6. Rest Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This helps retain the juices.
7. Garnish: Slice the chicken and garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges.
