Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Choose the right chicken: For this recipe, boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs work best. If you're using chicken breasts, pound them thin so they cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to stick to the pan.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade for this recipe is packed with flavor, thanks to the lime juice, garlic, cumin, and chili powder. Make sure to let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat: When searing the chicken, cook it over medium heat. This will help to prevent the chicken from burning and will allow it to cook through evenly.
  • Make sure the chicken is cooked through: Before you remove the chicken from the pan, make sure it is cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides: This chicken is delicious served with rice, beans, or vegetables. You can also top it with your favorite salsa or guacamole.

Conclusion:

This Lime Chicken Picante is a flavorful and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is marinated in a flavorful blend of lime juice, garlic, cumin, and chili powder, then seared until cooked through. Serve it with your favorite sides for a delicious and satisfying meal.
