Tasty Thursday - Taco Lime Grilled Chicken

It's summertime and that means grilling. 

We tried a new recipe last weekend.  It's super easy.  Taco seasoning and lime juice.  Does it really get any easier than that?  I don't think so.  I marinated the chicken for several hours, but it can marinade only for 30 minutes if needed.  

Another thing, I always have taco seasoning and lime juice in my kitchen.  I'm loving the recipe for that reason alone.  

We just grilled the chicken and had some side dishes.  I could easily see recipe being used as chicken tacos.  Slice the grilled chicken into small pieces, place on a shell, top with your favorite toppings.  Also, squeeze a slice of lime over the chicken.  

Taco Lime Grilled Chicken

2 tablespoons taco seasoning

1/2 cup lime juice, or about 2 limes

1 pound chicken, boneless and skinless breasts

Combine the taco seasoning and lime juice.  Add the chicken breasts and marinade for a mininum of 30 minutes or up to overnight.

Grill over medium-high heat for 3-5 minutes per side.  Let rest for 5 minutes and enjoy.

Now, can you understand why I think they will make a good chicken taco.  If you don't have access to a grill, I think just cooking on the stovetop would also be good.  Personally, I would throw everything in a skillet and see how it goes.
