Marinade and Chicken

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, chili powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken and seal the bag or cover the dish. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  4. 4

    Grill the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and let excess marinade drip off. Grill the chicken for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and serve.
