Ingredients
- 1 to 1 ½ pounds chicken breast
- juice of 2 to 3 limes - optional
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic - optional
- tajín - enough to rub the chicken breasts
Instructions
- Use a wire brush to thoroughly clean the grill. Preheat the grill to 425-450 degrees for 10-15 minutes.
- Pound the chicken breast to a relatively even thickness. If adding the marinade step, squeeze limes and mix with minced garlic. Add the chicken breast to the marinade for 30 minutes or more. Remove from marinade. Rub with tajín. If not marinating, simply rub the chicken generously with tajín.
- Cook the prepared chicken breast 6 to 8 minutes on a side (resist the urge to turn, or you won't get beautiful grill marks!). Bring the internal temperature to 165°.
- Tent chicken breasts to keep warm until ready to serve. Slice or serve whole as desired.
Notes
Additional salt is not necessary, as it is included in the tajín.
