Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup fresh lime juice
6 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
8 skinless boneless chicken breast halves
8 slices Monterey Jack cheese
Ancho Chile Sauce (recipe follows)
Special equipment: Gas or charcoal grill

Steps:

  • Combine the lime juice, soy sauce, oil, sugar, herbs, garlic, chili powder, and cayenne in a medium bowl; whisk to blend. Place the chicken in a 13 by 9-inch glass baking dish 2 inches deep. Pour the marinade over. Cover and refrigerate overnight, turning occasionally.
  • Prepare a grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill until just cooked through, turning occasionally, about 10 minutes. Place 1 cheese slice atop each chicken piece; cover the grill and cook until the cheese melts, about 2 minutes. Transfer the chicken to plates. Serve with Ancho Chile Sauce.

I loved the flavors in this dish, but the chicken was a bit dry. I think I'll try it again with a different cooking method.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made it with rotisserie chicken and it was delicious. The sauce is flavorful and easy to make.

This recipe is a great way to add some flavor to your chicken. The chicken was tender and juicy, and the sauce was the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. I served it with rice and black beans, and it was a complete meal.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra chili powder and cumin, and it was much better.

I'm not a fan of cilantro, so I omitted it from the recipe. The dish was still delicious, but I think it would have been even better with cilantro.
