I love Tex-Mex; I love chicken. This is a coming together of two loves.

Categories     Chicken

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 c onion, chopped
1/3 c lime juice
6 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/4 tsp ground red pepper (cayenne)
6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
3 Tbsp chopped fresh cilanto, optional

Steps:

  • 1. Combine onion, lime juice, and garlic in food processor or blender. Process until onion is finely minced.
  • 2. Transfer to resealable plastic food storage bag. Add oregano, cumin, thyme, and red pepper. Knead bag until well blended.
  • 3. Place chicken in bag; press out air and seal. Turn to coat chicken with marinade. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.
  • 4. Spray grid with nonstick cooking spray. Prepare grill for direct cooking. Remove chicken from marinade; discard marinade.
  • 5. Place chicken on grid 3 to 4 inches from medium-hot coals. Grill 5-7 minutes on each side or until chicken is no longer pink in the center. Transfer to serving plate and sprinkle with cilantro.
  • 6. Note: I have cooked this chicken on a George Forman grill as well. It tastes better over coals -- all grilled food does -- but it works either way.
