Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 teaspoons chipotle powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
• 0.25 cup low-sodium chicken broth

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine chipotle powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, and cumin.

Step 2

Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Place them in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish.

Step 3

In another bowl, mix olive oil, fresh lime juice, honey, chopped cilantro, and low-sodium chicken broth.

Step 4

Pour the mixture over the chicken, ensuring all the pieces are well coated. Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the chicken and rub it in.

Step 5

Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate the chicken.

Step 6

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Oil the grill grates lightly to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting the excess drip off before placing it on the grill.

Step 8

Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is cooked through.

Step 9

Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 10

Serve the grilled chicken with your favorite low-sodium sides or a fresh green salad.
