Everyone that has tried my Mexican Lime Chicken absolutely falls in love with it. It’s perfectly sweet, spicy and zesty with juicy chicken breasts marinated and cooked in olive oil combined with crushed coriander seeds, grated lime zest, paprika, muscovado sugar, lime juice, garlic and fresh red chilis. Have I forgotten anything? Keep it low carb and serve it with salad and salsa!
To make Mexican Lime Chicken, you will need the following ingredients:
In a mixing bowl, whisk 2 tablespoons of olive oil with 1 teaspoon of crushed coriander seeds, 1 teaspoon of grated lime zest, ½ teaspoon of each paprika and ½ teaspoon of light muscovado sugar until combined.
In a baking dish, pour the prepared marinade over the 2 chicken breasts and coat well then squeeze some juice from a lime over the chicken. Cover the dish with some plastic wrap and set aside for 25-30 minutes to marinate.
Once marinated, place 1-2 lime slices underneath the skin of each chicken breast and season with some salt and pepper, to taste. Add 6 unpeeled garlic cloves and 2 fresh red chilis, scattered around the baking dish.
Preheat the oven to 375 °F (190 °C/gas 5/fan oven 170 °C).
Roast in the preheated oven, uncovered, for about 30-35 minutes until the chicken is still soft but cooked through and no longer pink.
Enjoy hot and serve with a salad and/or salsa, if you wish!
