I’m always on the lookout for quick dinner recipes. Chicken recipes are even better! Sometimes I need a last minute chicken recipe because it was a busy day and I didn’t plan dinner. I love lime and pretty much anything. This recipe is great because I have everything on hand. I open my pantry and measure out the few ingredients and dinner is halfway done! This grilled chicken breast recipe marinates while the grill is heating up.

Little Chef A has been helping out a lot with the cooking lately because of our crazy schedule. Over the phone we discuss what needs to be done. She will complete that task and then call me for the next. She has been assisting for a long time so I trust her and know she can do a great job. She is able to measure out all the spices and get the marinade ready. All I need to do is come home and start grilling.

Lime Grilled Chicken Breast

Ingredients:

• 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
• 1/2 cup lime juice
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon seasoning salt
• 1/4 teaspoon chili powder

Directions:

1. Let chicken soak in lime juice while heating up the grill. Flip chicken halfway through. 
2. Combine dry seasonings.
3. Add seasonings to one side of the chicken.
4. Put season side down on the grill.
5. Add seasonings to the top side of the chicken. Both sides should now be coated. 
6. Grill 6 minutes on one side, flip and 10 on the other.
7. Immediately off the grill add a slab of avocado butter.

Next time you need a last minute recipe try this one. If you don’t have the avocado butter (which is super easy to prepare) it will still be delicious. You can always slice the cooked chicken, add some veggies and wrap it up in a tortilla. Lime Grilled Chicken Breast works great with mexican flavors – one of our favorites!
