Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1/4 cup lime juice (freshly squeezed)
– 1/4 cup olive oil
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon ground cumin
– 1 teaspoon chili powder
– 1 teaspoon paprika

– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Creating Fiesta Lime Chicken is simple if you follow these easy steps:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes or up to 30 minutes for more flavor.
3. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you’re using a stovetop grill pan, heat it over medium-high heat.
4. Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
5. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a plate and cover with aluminum foil. Let it rest for about 5 minutes.
6. Slice and Serve: Slice the chicken and arrange it on a serving platter. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.
7. Add Toppings: If desired, top with diced tomatoes, avocado, shredded cheese, and a dollop of sour cream for added flavor.

These steps will guide you in creating this incredible dish effortlessly.
