Marinated Chicken

Method

Marinating and Grilling Chicken

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Add chicken breasts and coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and grill for 6-7 minutes on each side or until cooked through and juices run clear. Let rest before slicing.

Preparing Enchiladas

  1. 3

    Assemble the Enchiladas

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a baking dish, spread a thin layer of green chile sauce. Take a blue corn tortilla, fill it with shredded cheese and chopped onion, roll it up, and place seam side down in the baking dish. Repeat until all tortillas are filled.

  2. 4

    Top and Bake

    Pour remaining green chile sauce over the top and sprinkle with any leftover cheese. Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden.

Making Spanish Rice

  1. 5

    Cook the Rice

    In a saucepan, heat a little oil and sauté garlic and bell pepper until soft. Add rice and stir for 1-2 minutes. Then add chicken broth, tomato sauce, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil.

  2. 6

    Simmer

    Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork before serving.
