Healthy Recipe of the Week ~ Spicy Lime Grilled Chicken

Spicy Lime Grilled Chicken

Looking for a great way to prepare grilled chicken breasts?  Try this flavorful and versatile marinade.  These are wonderful served over a bed of fresh greens, tossed with pasta and fresh veggies, or my favorite... stuffed in a tortilla with your favorite taco toppings. 

Ingredients
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1 (12 fluid ounce) can light colored beer
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder 
  • black pepper to taste
  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

Directions
  1. In a Ziploc bag, mix the lime juice, beer, honey, garlic, cilantro, chili powder and pepper until the honey dissolves. Add the chicken and marinate, refrigerated, for 30 minutes to 3 hours.
  2. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil grate.
  3. Remove chicken from marinade and shake off excess; discard remaining marinade. Grill chicken until tender and juices run clear, about 7 minutes per side.
