CHILI LIME CHICKEN
This recipe combines many of the spices that I grew up with and that have become a distinctive part of much of my cooking including dishes such as chili Colorado, posole, and Frontera™ style carne asada. I would describe this dish as more Tex-Mex or New Mexican than Mexican. Serve on a bed of rice or slice thinly for use in tacos or to top a green salad.

Steps:
- Combine ancho chile powder, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and chipotle powder in a medium glass or ceramic bowl. Whisk in canola oil and lime juice until well combined; thin with additional canola oil if mixture seems too thick.
- Arrange chicken in a glass or ceramic baking dish and pour the marinade over the chicken, covering it completely. Marinate in the refrigerator for 3 hours.
- 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.
- Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the centers, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from the oven and let stand for 5 to 6 minutes.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425F (use convection if you have it) and line a baking sheet with foil (optional but highly recommended, see Notes below)) for easier cleanup.
- Place the chicken on the baking sheet, and pound to an even thickness. I use an empty wine bottle, but a meat pounder or tenderizing tool, a rolling pin, or a heavy frying pan all work. The chicken doesn't need to be pounded 'thin', but it needs to be of pounded to a uniform thickness so it all cooks through at the same time.
- Evenly drizzle the chicken with olive oil and generously season with salt and pepper; set aside.
- To a small bowl, add the remaining ingredients (except the lime juice and cilantro), stir to combine, and evenly spoon the dry rub over the chicken on both sides. I add a bit more to the side that's facing up than the side that's on the bottom in contact with the baking sheet.
- Bake for about 20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through (165F) and done.
- Evenly drizzle the chicken with fresh lime juice and evenly garnish with fresh cilantro. Allow the chicken to rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing into it (cover with foil if desired to keep it warmer). Resting the chicken really helps lock in the juices and moisture so don't skip this step.

Tips:
- To achieve a flavorful and succulent chicken breast, marinate the chicken in a mixture of lime juice, chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic, and olive oil for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
- Before cooking, pat the chicken breasts dry to ensure a crispy skin. This will help the spices adhere to the chicken and prevent the skin from steaming.
- Use a cast iron skillet or grill pan to sear the chicken breasts. This will create a beautiful sear and lock in the juices.
- Cook the chicken breasts over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Be careful not to overcook the chicken, as it can become dry.
- Let the chicken breasts rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
- Serve the chicken breasts with your favorite sides, such as rice, beans, or vegetables. A simple salad or salsa is also a great accompaniment.
Conclusion:
Lime and chili rubbed chicken breasts are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or even as an appetizer. The combination of tangy lime, spicy chili, and aromatic spices creates a flavorful crust that perfectly complements the tender and juicy chicken. Whether you are grilling, pan-searing, or baking the chicken breasts, this recipe is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give this recipe a try and taste the explosion of flavors!
