– 1 teaspoon chili powder

Instructions

Creating the incredible Chili Lime Chicken is simple. Follow these steps for a mouthwatering dish:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, honey, garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.

2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish.

3. Chill: Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the chicken.

4. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

5. Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill the chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

6. Rest: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes to lock in the juices.

7. Slice and Garnish: Slice the chicken and garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges for serving.

8. Serve: Enjoy your Chili Lime Chicken on its own, or serve with sides like rice, grilled vegetables, or a fresh salad.
