[Roxy15]

LIME-AND-CHILI-RUBBED CHICKEN:

 

2 tsp. chili powder

2 tsp. packed brown sugar

2 tsp. grated lime peel

1/2 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. garlic powder

1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper

4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 1 1/4 lb.)

2 tsp. olive OR canola oil

 

Heat gas or charcoal grill. In small bowl, mix chili powder, brown sugar, lime peel, salt, garlic powder and ground red pepper. Rub both sides of chicken with oil, then with spice mixture.

 

Place chicken on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 10-15 minutes, turning once or twice, until juice of chicken is clear when center of thickest part is cut (170 degrees).

 

TIP:

 

Refrigerating the "rubbed" chicken 20-30 minutes before grilling really enhances the flavor.
