Instructions
Creating the perfect Chili Lime Grilled Chicken is simple when you follow these steps:
1. Prepare Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, chili powder, cumin, honey, garlic, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
2. Marinate Chicken: Place chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it’s evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 30 minutes for more flavor.
3. Preheat Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, heat it over medium heat on the stove.
4. Grill Chicken: Remove chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
5. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. This helps retain the juices.
6. Garnish: Slice the chicken and garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges before serving.
