About Chilli lime chicken thighs

Chilli Lime Chicken Thighs are a flavorful dish inspired by bold, zesty flavors common in Tex-Mex and Southwestern cuisine. These tender, juicy chicken thighs are marinated in a blend of fresh lime juice, spicy chili powder, garlic, and olive oil, then grilled or baked to perfection. Packed with protein, they provide a satisfying meal while offering essential nutrients like iron and B vitamins. The lime adds a refreshing citrus tang, while the chili powder delivers a healthful dose of capsaicin, known for its anti-inflammatory properties. This dish is lower in carbohydrates, making it ideal for low-carb or keto lifestyles, but the moderate fat content from chicken thighs and marinade may be worth considering if you're watching your calorie intake. Pair it with fresh vegetables or a light salad to create a balanced, wholesome meal that’s both nutritious and full of vibrant flavors.
