Summer Grilling Series
Summer is coming to an end. 🙁 I may have mentioned before (like a gazillion times) that it’s my favorite season. Luckily, even with the temperatures beginning to cool, it’s still grilling season at our house for a bit yet.
I think you’ll love todays grilling recipe. These Garlic Lime Chicken Breasts are super easy. It’s another marinade that comes together in a few minutes. Let the chicken soak in the goodness all day while you go on about your business.
Garlic Lime Chicken Breasts
When you’re ready to eat… fire up that grill. The cook time is only about 10 minutes unless your chicken breasts are super thick. I typically fillet mine, and that helps them cook more evenly. Here are some tips for grilling perfection.
You can also prep the marinade, toss it all together on the chicken in a zip lock bag and freeze it for a later date. Let it thaw in the fridge, and walaah! Dinner is made. I come from a family of Magicians, you’d think I could use a better word that ‘wa-laah’. Abracadabra? Presto? What’s your favorite magic word? 😀
Pro Tips:
- Make a double batch, cook one, freeze one. A great way to stock your freezer!
- Cook extra for lunches during the week
- Cook extra, then freeze it to eat later. Let it thaw and warm up for a quick lunch/dinner.
