CHILI LIME CHICKEN
This recipe combines many of the spices that I grew up with and that have become a distinctive part of much of my cooking including dishes such as chili Colorado, posole, and Frontera™ style carne asada. I would describe this dish as more Tex-Mex or New Mexican than Mexican. Serve on a bed of rice or slice thinly for use in tacos or to top a green salad.

Steps:
- Add the coriander to pestle and mortar and crush then add the rest of the spices and mix thoroughly. Rub the chicken with oil and rub in the spice mixture. Then rub the lime zest on top. Leave to one side.
- Add a little oil to a medium saucepan. Fry the onion and half the sliced garlic for a few minutes then add the chicken stock. Add the rice and cook per packet instructions. Add the kale about 5 minutes before the rice is cooked.
- Meanwhile heat a griddle pan and cook the chicken turning once. While cooking heat a little oil in a small saucepan and fry the rest of the garlic and all the chilli. After a few minutes add all the lime and lemon juice and cook on a high heat until thickened slightly then remove from the heat.
- Pile half the rice on each plate and place a chicken breast on each pile. Finish with half the chilli lime dressing on top and serve.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh lime juice and zest, chili peppers, and herbs will give your chicken the best flavor.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken is dry and tough. Cook it until it is just cooked through, about 165 degrees F internal temperature.
- Let the chicken rest before serving: This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.
- Serve with your favorite sides: Rice, beans, grilled vegetables, or salad are all great options.
Conclusion:
This lime and chili-rubbed chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make recipe that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is flavorful and moist, and the lime and chili rub gives it a nice kick. Serve it with your favorite sides and enjoy!
