Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

¼ cup fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 lime, zested
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
½ teaspoon ground cumin
4 medium skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Whisk lime juice, olive oil, garlic, lime zest, salt, brown sugar, red pepper flakes, and cumin together in a small bowl. Place chicken in a large plastic bag or a bowl and add lime marinade. Seal the bag or cover the bowl and place in a refrigerator to marinate for 30 minutes to 24 hours.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Place chicken breasts on the preheated grill and cook until no longer pink in the center and skin is golden and lightly charred, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer chicken breasts to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice and garnish with cilantro.
