A delicious chilli lime marinade makes plain chicken breasts tender and flavorful! Chilli Lime Chicken goes well with salads, tacos, burritos, and more!
INGREDIENT
– 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts*– 3 Tbsp avocado oil– ¼ cup fresh lime juice– 2 Tbsp pure maple syrup– 1.5 Tbsp chili powder– 1 tsp garlic powder– ½ tsp sea salt to taste
INSTRUCTIONS
In a small bowl, mix avocado oil, lime juice, pure maple syrup, chilli powder, garlic powder, and sea salt for the chicken marinade.
Step 1
Place raw chicken breasts and marinade in a large zip lock bag. Seal and swish the bag to marinate chicken. Marinate 1–24 hours.
Step 2
I recommend marinating the recipe for several hours for tanginess and best results.
Step 3
Preheat the oven to 350°F before cooking chicken.Place the chicken and marinade in a large casserole, baking dish, or rimmed baking sheet.
Step 4
Pre-heat the oven and bake 15 minutes on the centre rack. Baste chicken with baking dish juices after removing from oven. Spoon juices over chicken breasts.
Step 5
Broil the chicken for 3–8 minutes on high until cooked and golden brown.
Step 6
A 145-degree internal temperature indicates full chicken cooking. Check doneness by inserting a meat thermometer into each breast's thickest part.
Step 7
Rest chicken for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Eat Chilli Lime Chicken Breasts with your favourite sides!
