1/4 cup lime juice (about 3 limes)
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt, plus more for sprinkling
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for sprinkling
4 boneless chicken breast halves, skinned (about 2 pounds)

Steps:

  • Whisk the lime, oil, garlic, salt and pepper until combined in a small bowl. Place the chicken in a 1-gallon plastic bag. Pour half of the lime mixture over the chicken; turn to coat. Let the chicken marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours and up to 8 hours.
  • Arrange the scallions, onions, green peppers and red peppers on a large rimmed baking sheet. Pour the remaining lime mixture over the vegetables; turn to coat.
  • Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the lime mixture and bring to room temperature. Sprinkle each side of the chicken with salt and pepper. Grill the chicken until cooked through, about 7 minutes each side. Grill the vegetables until tender, turning frequently, about 10 minutes for the scallions and peppers and 15 minutes for the onions.
  • Transfer the chicken to a work surface and cover with aluminum foil. Set aside the chicken for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, slice the onions and peppers and arrange them on a platter with the scallions. Slice the chicken crosswise into strips and transfer to the platter. Serve with the Cheddar and sour cream.

ANITA'S GRILLED CHICKEN...



Anita's Grilled Chicken... image

I love grilled meats of any-kind... sorry if it offends anyone..But it was how I was raised to eat in balance. My father and my mothers father were big in my life. They both believed in good balanced meals..And as easy it is to cook meat is as easy to mess it up.. This chicken recipe is easy and fast. can be done ahead, frozen and grilled another day. enjoy

  • Once ready on hot hot grill each breast 6/8 mins each side. let meat rest for few minutes before serving.
  • I serve this sliced on an angle over a spinach salad, on grilled garlic bread with roasted peppers and broccoli-rabe..to die for..This kind of prep leaves open for you to do your own spin on it...Have fun enjoy...
  • You can also after at least hour of marinating places breasts in freeze lock bags,( with most air squeezed out) from this last prep-step for another time or just to get ahead on a Party or BBQ.
  • You can also add a balsamic vinaigrette as a extra punch in flavor instead of just EVO.

Time 2h45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 23

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
½ medium lemon, juiced
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon ground coriander
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste
½ teaspoon ground turmeric
½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 (5.3 ounce) container plain Greek yogurt

Stir ingredients well and add chicken pieces. Cover and refrigerate. Stir chicken pieces and marinade about every 2 hours.

  • Preheat an outdoor gas grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Place chicken pieces in a single layer onto the oiled grate, and grill until no longer pink in the center, the juices run clear, and both sides are brown, 6 to 8 minutes per side. Timing will depend on the thickness of the chicken thighs and the distance of the grates to the heat.

  • Place grilled chicken on a cutting board and cover with aluminum foil. Allow chicken to rest 5 to 10 minutes, then cut into thin slices.
  • To assemble the wraps, divide ingredients evenly: Place chicken slices in the center of each naan bread. Top with shredded lettuce, onion rings, and tomato slices; spoon raita on top.
  • Wrap each naan around the sandwich ingredients, and serve.
