Spicy Lime Grilled Chicken

Post date: May 20, 2015 10:46:47 PM

Ingredients:

6 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil

2 Tbsp. freshly squeezed lime juice

2 tsp. onion powder

2 tsp. freshly grated lime zest

1 tsp. oregano, chopped

1/2 - 1 tsp. red pepper flakes

salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

Directions:

Generously season both sides of chicken with salt and pepper and transfer to a large, re-sealable bag.

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, onion powder, lime zest, oregano and red pepper flakes.

Pour marinade into plastic bag, seal and move bag around so that chicken is completely coated.

Refrigerate chicken for 1 - 4 hours.

When ready, preheat grill or griddle to medium high and cook chicken breasts, flipping in the middle, until no longer pink, 6-8 minutes total.

I use this as meat for fajitas, along with fajita fillings. I serve it with Cilantro Lime rice and Southwestern Roasted Corn salad on the side (recipe found on this website).
