Chili Lime Chicken
5
Larry Dean
"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."

Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Combine ancho chili 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.

Absolutely fabulous, my family raved! The only changes I made were marinating all day and adding lime zest and a little black pepper. Served with beans, Spanish rice, and tortillas.

Wonderful taste! I followed the recipe and marinated the chicken for 3 hours. Don’t be afraid of the intense chili powder. The flavor doesn’t overpower. Great blend. Perfect amount of salt. Defi...
