Prep time: 10 minutes (marinade time not included)
Cook time: 45 minutes
Serves 4
INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
2 tsp freshly grated lime peel
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried thyme
4 (8-oz) bone-in split chicken breasts
1 lime, thinly sliced
DIRECTIONS:
- In large bowl combine lime juice, lime peel, garlic, oregano, thyme, and salt and pepper to taste. Trim fat from chicken breasts. Place chicken in bowl; turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours, turning chicken occasionally.
- Preheat grill to medium (300-350 degrees); leave one burner off (for charcoal grill; arrange coals on one side of grill). Remove chicken from marinade. Gently tuck 1 or 2 limes slices under skin of each breast.
- Grill chicken over direct heat until grill marks appear, about 3 minutes per side. Place chicken over indirect heat; grill 45 minutes more or until instant-read thermometer registers 165 degrees in thickest portion and juices run clear, turning every 15 minutes. Remove chicken from grill; let stand 8 minutes before serving.
