Southwest Chicken

So much flavor, you won’t mind a bit that it’s also lower in fat and calories than many other marinated chicken recipes.

Serve with Fresh Tomato Salsa and Traditional Guacamole or Fruity Guacamole. Fabulous with a small side salad. For a bigger meal, serve also with Spanish Rice.

INGREDIENTS:
1/3 cup Lime juice
1/8 cup Tamari (soy) sauce, low sodium, gluten-free
1/4 cup Wine, white
1 taplespoon Olive oil
1/2 teaspoon Chili powder
1/2 teaspoon Cumin, ground
1/2 teaspoon Coriander, ground
3 cloves Garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Honey
1/3 teaspoon Thyme, dried (or 1 tsp fresh, minced)
1/8 cup Cilantro, fresh, minced
6 each Chicken breasts, boneless and skinless, 4-5 ounces each

PREPARATION:
Mix lime juice, Tamari, olive oil, chili powder, cumin, coriander, garlic, honey, wine and thyme well in a large bowl. Put chicken breasts in shallow pan with marinade mix and refrigerate for at least 3 hours. Reserve marinade.

Heat grill. Pour reserved marinade into small saucepan and bring to a boil. Simmer a few minutes to reduce slightly and make a sauce. Grill chicken breasts, occasionally basting with some of the sauce, until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.

Add cilantro to sauce. Serve each breast with a teaspoon or two of the sauce.
