Ingredients
Ingredients
- 500 g Chicken breasts or thighs boneless, skinless
- 60 ml Olive oil for marinade
- 2 pieces Limes juiced
- 1 tablespoon Garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon Cilantro chopped
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder for a touch of heat
- 1 teaspoon Salt to taste
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Start by preparing the Tropical Citrus Marinade. In a bowl, combine the olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, cilantro, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
- Place the chicken in a marinating container, pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it’s well coated, and let it sit for at least 15 minutes.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Pat the chicken dry and place it on the grill. Cook for about 15 minutes, turning as needed, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after cooking, then slice and serve.
Notes
Tip: Make sure to oil the grill grate to prevent sticking and avoid overcrowding the grill for even cooking.
