How To Make Spicy Garlic Lime Chicken

Preparation: 15 minutes

Cooking: 25 minutes

Total: 40 minutes

Serves:

Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
4 cloves of garlic, minced
2 limes, juiced and zested
2 tablespoons of olive oil
1 teaspoon of chili powder
1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
1/4 cup of chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish

Instructions

In a bowl, combine the minced garlic, lime juice, lime zest, olive oil, chili powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for better flavor.
Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the excess marinade.
Grill the chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through and juices run clear. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and serve hot.
