Lime Chicken Party

A zesty Lime Chicken dish perfect for gatherings, combining fresh flavors and tender grilled chicken with vibrant lime.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 Chicken Breasts
  • 2 Limes (juiced)
  • 1 Avocado (sliced)
  • 1/4 Cup Fresh Cilantro (chopped)
  • 1 Teaspoon Chili Powder
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Mix it Up! In a bowl, combine the juice of two limes, olive oil, chili powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk until well blended.
  2. Let It Soak Up Flavor! Place your chicken breasts in a zip-top bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over. Seal the bag or cover the dish, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. If you have more time, let it marinate for up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, or if you prefer using a skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
  4. Remove the chicken from the marinade (discard the marinade), and grill each breast for about 6-7 minutes per side or until they’re cooked through (165°F internal temperature).
  5. Transfer the chicken to a plate and let it rest for about 5 minutes to ensure juiciness.
  6. Slice the grilled chicken, serve it with sliced avocado, a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, and some lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.

Notes

For added taste, you can incorporate fresh jalapeños into the marinade or swap lime juice with lemon for a different citrus spin.
