Chili Lime Chicken Rub



Chili Lime Chicken Rub
(adapted from a Betty Crocker recipe)
  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • 2 tsp brown sugar
  • 1 lime, zested and juiced
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Combine all powders (including lime zest) in a small dish.  Trim chicken as desired.  Lay chicken in a large sealable container then add half of the lime juice and half of the powder.  Rub and press mixture onto chicken, then flip to the other side and repeat.  Seal container and place in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (I let mine go all afternoon) then cook as desired.  Since I took the oil out of this dish, you may want to use a bit of cooking spray on your grill or in your pan.
*Kim's note:  This is a very versatile dish! Eat as a main dish, or chop them up for salads or tacos.
Happy Cooking!
