Lime Chili Grilled Chicken Tenders Food

CILANTRO LIME GRILLED CHICKEN SANDWICH

Steps:

• Combine the chicken breasts and 1/2 cup of the Mexican Style Cilantro Lime Vinaigrette in a resealable plastic bag. Let marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 5 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
• Preheat an outdoor grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
• Oil the grills grate or grill pan. Remove the chicken from the marinade. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill the chicken, turning once, until cooked through, about 4 minutes per side, depending on thickness.
• Spread the mayonnaise on the cut surfaces of the rolls. Slice the chicken and add to the rolls. Break the bacon in half and place on top of the chicken. Top with avocado and tomato slices, cilantro leaves and radishes. Drizzle each sandwich with 1 tablespoon of the remaining vinaigrette. Press the tops on the sandwiches.

CHILI LIME CHICKEN

Steps:

• Combine ancho chile powder, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and chipotle powder in a medium glass or ceramic bowl. Whisk in canola oil and lime juice until well combined; thin with additional canola oil if mixture seems too thick.
• Arrange chicken in a glass or ceramic baking dish and pour the marinade over the chicken, covering it completely. Marinate in the refrigerator for 3 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Arrange the chicken on the baking sheet; do not crowd. Discard any excess marinade.
• Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the centers, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from the oven and let stand for 5 to 6 minutes.

LIME-CHILI GRILLED CHICKEN TENDERS

Steps:

• Combine Lime juice, oil, chili powder, cumin, salt & cilantro in a large bowl.
• Add Chicken Tenders and toss to coat.
• Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours, turning occasionally.
• Prepare a charcoal or gas grill for medium-heat grilling or heat a grill pan.
• Grill tenders until browned and cooked through, about 20 minutes.

LIME- AND CHILI-RUBBED CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Heat gas or charcoal grill. In small bowl, mix chili powder, brown sugar, lime peel, salt, garlic powder and ground red pepper. Rub both sides of chicken with oil, then with spice mixture.
• Place chicken on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 10 to 15 minutes, turning once or twice, until juice of chicken is clear when center of thickest part is cut (170°F).

GRILLED CHILI-LIME CHICKEN

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients except chicken in a large zipper bag. Squish to combine. Add chicken, turn to coat well. Refrigerate and marinate for about 3 hours or so.
• Heat grill to medium high. Remove chicken and discard remaining marinade. Grill chicken 4-5 minutes on each side, or until juices run clear. This works well on an indoor or outdoor grill, but I wouldn't recommend baking it. If you absolutely can't grill it, you might get away with searing it in a skillet.
• Leftovers can be sliced and frozen to be used later in other recipes. (See above).
