Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- 4 pieces Lime wedges (optional, for serving)
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, honey, chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Step 2
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish, and pour the marinade over the chicken. Ensure the chicken is evenly coated.
Step 3
Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap, and marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours. For maximum flavor, marinate closer to the 4-hour mark.
Step 4
Heat a large non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray if needed.
Step 5
Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and place it in the preheated skillet. Discard the leftover marinade.
Step 6
Cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is no longer pink in the center.
Step 7
Transfer the cooked chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing or serving.
Step 8
Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges, if desired.
