Ingredients
Scale
- 2-3 boneless Chicken Breasts
Marinade
- juice of 1 lime
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 Serrano Pepper, minced after removing seeds
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon coriander
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoons Chili Powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 cup avocado oil (or another high heat oil)
- 2 Tablespoons honey
Instructions
- Cut chicken breasts into 1 inch cubes for kebabs or leave whole, if desired.
- Mix all ingredients for marinade in a medium bowl.
- Add chicken to marinade and cover, place in refrigerator for 1-2 hours.
- Soak bamboo skewers for 20 minutes and thread chicken onto skewers leaving space between each piece.
- Grill over medium high direct heat for 12-15 minutes turning every 2-3 minutes
Notes
Serve with cilantro-lime rice and colorful corn salad.
You could use a Margarita Mix for the marinade if you like, and simply add the spices, but the fresh lime juice gives it a more vibrant taste.Â
The Serrano pepper is very spicy. If you prefer less heat, substitute a jalapeno pepper.
For a more smoky flavor, use a Chipotle pepper in adobo.
