Description

A vibrant Chili Lime Chicken dish infused with fresh lime and chili powder, perfect for grilling or baking.


Ingredients

  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)


Instructions

  1. Mix lime juice, chili powder, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  2. Marinate the chicken breasts in the mixture for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat the grill or oven to medium-high heat.
  4. Grill or bake chicken until cooked through and juices run clear, about 6-7 minutes per side.
  5. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired and serve with rice, veggies, or in tacos.

Notes

Consistency in the thickness of chicken breasts helps ensure even cooking. Always let the chicken rest after cooking for juicier results.
