Marinated Grilled Chicken

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Add chicken breasts, ensuring they are thoroughly coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Chipotle Crema

    In a separate bowl, mix together sour cream, chipotle peppers, and a pinch of salt. Adjust seasoning to taste and set aside.

  3. 3

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the applewood smoked bacon until crispy. Remove from the skillet and let drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  5. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    Once the chicken is grilled, remove from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice the red onion. Serve the grilled chicken topped with sliced red onions, crispy bacon, and a generous drizzle of chipotle crema. Sprinkle with smoked gouda cheese.
