CHIPOTLE LIME CHICKEN

Chipotle Lime Chicken is a bold, flavour-packed dish that combines chipotle sauce’s smoky heat with lime juice’s bright acidity. This recipe is perfect for those who love a bit of spice in their meals. Marinate the chicken breast in a simple chipotle sauce, lime juice, and olive oil, then pan-fried to perfection. The result is a juicy, tender chicken with a delightful blend of spicy, tangy, and smoky flavours. This dish is quick to prepare and pairs wonderfully with a fresh salad, grilled vegetables, or a side of rice, making it an ideal option for a weeknight dinner or a casual weekend meal.

PREPARATION FOR CHIPOTLE LIME CHICKEN

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a small bowl, mix the chipotle sauce, lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place the chicken breast in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken and evenly coat it. Let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes or up to 2 hours for more intense flavour.
  1. Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add a small amount of olive oil if necessary. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it in the skillet. Cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked and no longer pink in the centre. The internal temperature should reach 75°C (165°F).
  1. Serve and Enjoy: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve hot with your sides, such as a fresh salad, grilled vegetables, or rice.

TIPS FOR CHIPOTLE LIME CHICKEN

  • For extra flavour, marinate the chicken overnight in the fridge.
  • If you prefer a milder flavour, reduce the chipotle sauce or mix it with plain yoghurt.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches the perfect temperature.

VARIATIONS

  • Add a teaspoon of honey to the marinade for a touch of sweetness.
  • For a smoky BBQ twist, grill the chicken instead of pan-frying it.
  • Substitute the chicken breast with boneless thighs for a juicier texture.

PREPPING AND STORAGE GUIDE FOR CHIPOTLE LIME CHICKEN

  • Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days—Reheat in a skillet over low heat or the microwave.
  • Freezer: Freeze the cooked chicken for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
