Chili Lime Chicken

Chili lime chicken – moist and delicious chicken marinated with chili and lime and grill to
perfection. Easy recipe that takes 30 mins.

This chili lime chicken was absolutely delicious, juicy, flavorful, hitting all the right notes: citrusy, aromatic, with a pleasant nuance of the cilantro and garlic. I made a small serving and regretted immediately that I didn’t make more as they were gone in no time.
