Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 large chicken breast (1-1.2 lbs)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp chili lime marinade
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Chili Lime Marinade

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
  • Juice from 1 lime
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp red chili flakes
  • 1 red chili pepper, thinly sliced
  • Pinch salt

Directions

  1. Prepare the chili lime marinade by combining all of the ingredients together in a bowl. Mix together well.
  2. Slice your chicken breast in half, lengthwise, then cut into smaller pieces. Add the chicken to a large bowl and mix with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp chili lime marinade and the listed spices. Toss to combine. You can marinate the chicken until ready to grill, or cook right away.
  3. Heat a large skillet on medium heat then drizzle lightly with olive oil. Cook the chicken on medium heat for about 10-12 minutes total, flipping halfway through. Near the end of cook time, spoon some of the sauce over the chicken while still in the pan.
  4. Transfer the chicken to a plate and top with any remaining sauce from the pan.
