Lime Cumin Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• Combine oil, lime juice, cumin& salt in a plastic bag.
• Add 4 chicken breasts, seal and refrigerate overnight.
• Place on greased barbecue and grill over medium high heat.
• Grill about 10 minutes turning often.
• Garnish with lime slices, red pepper& cilantro.

Steps:

• For the marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together the oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, salt and pepper flakes until smooth. Add the chicken and toss until coated with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. (Can also be made in a resealable plastic bag.)
• For the pesto: In a food processor, blend the mint, spinach, cheese, walnuts, garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper until chunky. With the machine running, slowly add the olive oil until smooth.
• Place a grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill. Spray the grill lightly with vegetable oil cooking spray. Remove the chicken from the marinade. Discard the marinade. Grill the chicken until cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Place on a platter and serve with the pesto.

Steps:

• In a large ziptop baggie, combine chicken, onion, garlic, lime juice, molasses, Worcestershire sauce, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper; seal bag and let marinate in the fridge for several hours or overnight.
• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Coat a large roasting pan with cooking spray.
• Transfer chicken to prepared pan and pour over any remaining marinade on top.
• Roast 30 to 35 minutes, until chicken is cooked through (mine was ready at 30, so check early).

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly spray an 11 x 7 x 2-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
• Place the chicken in a single layer in the pan. Squeeze the juice of 1/2 lime over the chicken. Sprinkle with the cumin. Top with the bell pepper and onion.
• Bake for 28 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink in the center. Using a slotted spatula, transfer the chicken to plates.
• Stir the tomato, cilantro, and salt into the pan, scraping to dislodge any browned bits. Squeeze the juice from the remaining 1/2 lime into the pan. Stir well. Spoon over the chicken. Top each serving with a dollop of sour cream.

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Arrange the chicken on the baking sheet; do not crowd. Discard any excess marinade.
