I'm looking for a really good grilled lime chicken recipe. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Citrus Grilled Chicken
This marinade is a variation of the traditional mojo, a popular barbecue sauce in Cuban cooking. The various citrus elements and the cilantro are particularly well-suited to chicken. Even though the marinating time is short, the breasts pick up a lot of flavor. You also can substitute boneless thighs or drumsticks.
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
1 teaspoon grated lime peel
1/4 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon lime juice
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, plus sprigs for garnish
1/2 teaspoon lightly crushed cumin seeds
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1. In 1-gallon resealable plastic bag, combine all ingredients except cilantro sprigs and chicken. Add chicken; seal bag, turning so both chicken pieces are completely coated. Refrigerate at least 1 hour or up to 2 hours to marinate.
2. Heat grill. Place chicken on gas grill over medium-high heat or on charcoal grill 4 to 6 inches from medium-high coals. Grill 10 to 13 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink in center and juices run clear. Garnish with cilantro sprigs.

This is great cut into slices on a salad. If you use it on salad, here’s the recipe for the dressing. Use it in moderation. A little goes a long way!
Ingredients: 4 tablespoons lemon juice 4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar 2 cloves minced garlic 2 teaspoons dried basil
The recipe says to put this all in a blender but I found that to be unnecessary. Just slap it all in a cruet and shake it up real well. YUM!

Answer 3

Heres what I'd do.

4 boneless chicken breasts
3-4 limes, more if they are small
1/2 cup butter (not margarine)
Olive oil
Salt & pepper

Marinate the chicken in the juice of half of the limes for 2-6 hrs in the refrigerator with 1/4 cup olive oil & 1/2 tsp salt & 1/4 tsp pepper. Drain the marinade. Grill the chicken until juices run clear when pierced by a knife tip.
Set aside on a plate or platter.
Put the rest of the lime juice in a small pan & heat on low till simmering then remove from the heat. Stir in the butter till melted. Your butter sauce should not be hot but rather lukewarm and can be served with the chicken either drizzled on or as a dipping sauce. Adjust sauce to taste with salt or dress it up with a little snipped dill.

Answer 4

Easy and simple. Squeeze a few limes and allow the chicken to marinate at least an hour in the lime juice and cilantro. Place chicken in aluminum packets with a few pats of butter, a slice of the lime and salt and pepper. Close the packet and grill about 15 minutes each side (that's for boneless chicken). For bone in chicken cook longer. The packets with the lime juice and butter create moisture for the chicken leaving it juicy and not dry. Enjoy.
