Jalapeño Lime Grilled Chicken


Still a Grillin'

To me, there is nothing better than spending time outside during this time of the year when the weather is just perfect. Nice, cool and comfortable and with no bugs. It's a good time to grill outside and great time to eat outside.

This is a really great tasting recipe that is simple to make and is really great to eat. Actually, it is some really fine eating folks. Great for fajita wraps. Serve it with a Mexican rice dish, a cold corn salad and of course, ice cold beverages.



Jalapeño Lime Grilled Chicken
4 servings
 
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
Juice of 2 limes
3 tablespoons jalapeño mustard
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons Mexican Blend –see below
2 tablespoons olive oil
    Flatten each breast into 1/4-inch thick pieces with a mallet.
    Combine limejuice with remaining ingredients in a shallow bowl. Place chicken in marinade and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, not more than 2 hours.
    Grill chicken over medium-low heat for 7 minutes brushing with the marinade. Remove and let rest before slicing into strips.

      7. I love the combination of ingredients you've used here. I use lime a lot when I'm making Mexican dishes. It brightens the flavors, don't you think?

      9. The key thing in this recipe is that flattening step. Boneless chicken breasts can be so dry from overcooking but when flattened they cook faster, more evenly and absorb more of that yummy marinade you have there...I LOVE lime with chicken. This looks just wonderful!
