Charred and Tender grilled or chicken spiced with a special blend of homemade taco seasoning can be grilled or cooked in a skillet on the stove-top. It's delicious in tacos, burritos, on salads, or for meal-prep!

📝 Ingredients

  • 1 pound Boneless, Skinless chicken thighs or breasts (we prefer thighs )
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon corn starch (optional)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1Add the chicken, garlic, olive oil, lime, spices, and cornstarch to a large bowl or zip-seal bag.
  2. 2Place in fridge and let marinate for at least 15-30 minutes or up to 24 hours.
  3. 3Remove chicken from marinade and discard marinade. Place chicken on a grill or pan heated to medium-high heat. Let chicken cook until it is no longer pink on the inside, about 6-7 minutes per side (or until it has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees F).
