Grilled Chicken Breasts With Turmeric and Lime image

The secret to these five-star chicken breasts is a simple, flavorful marinade of turmeric, rosemary, garlic, lime juice and olive oil. Most importantly, as with all white meat chicken, don't overcook it or you'll end up with well-seasoned shoe leather.

Time 15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 to 6 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, about 1 1/2 pounds
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
1/2 teaspoon chile powder
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
2 teaspoons chopped fresh or crushed dried rosemary leaves
1 teaspoon finely minced garlic
Salt to taste if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste
2 tablespoons melted butter

Steps:

  • Heat a grill or the broiler.
  • Put the oil in a mixing bowl; and lime juice, chile powder, turmeric, rosemary, garlic, salt and pepper. Stir to blend well and add the chicken pieces. Turn them in the marinade to coat well. Cover and set aside until ready to cook. If they are to be marinated for a long period, refrigerate them.
  • Place chicken pieces on the grill or on the rack under the broiler. Cover the grill or close the door to the broiler. Cook about 2 to 3 minutes and turn the pieces. Continue cooking until done, about 2 to 3 minutes on the grill, possibly a little longer under the broiler.
  • Remove the pieces and brush the tops with the melted butter.
