Looking for an easy but crazy flavorful grilled chicken? Look no further, we’ve got you covered! This chile lime chicken is ridiculously simple to make but it’s packed with flavor. Aside from the usual suspects like organic chicken breasts and olive oil, you also need fresh cilantro, limes, honey and the secret ingredient comes in this little shaker from Trader Joe’s.
This chile lime seasoning blend is one of our go to mixed spices. If you can’t find this at your local TJ’s, it’s just a mixture of salt, chili powders and lime juice so you can improvise with some chili, cayenne, salt and extra lime juice and you should be able to get by with that to achieve the same flavor. In a freezer bag add the chicken breasts with a few shakes of the chile lime blend and marinate for a minimum of 30 minutes. Grill and serve, it’s that easy. Pair this with our GTK Elote as a side and you are covered. Weeknight dinner made simple, weekends too!

Long-time reader, first-time commenter – This recipe is brilliant! I’ve made it 4 times now with a few different variations each time (e.g. substituting the tofu for pork or chicken) and every time it’s turned out beautifully. It’s almost as good as my local ramen place.
Thanks for this! It’s getting me through the long winter.
