Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 large chicken breasts on bone
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1 tsp chile powder (I used Ancho Chile Powder)
  • 1 jalapeno (seeded and minced)
  • 1 tsp fresh minced cilantro
  • 2 garlic cloves (grated)
  • 1 large lime
  • salt to taste

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350.
  • Slice half the lime in thin slices to be added to the chicken, then zest and juice the remaining half for the marinade. Whisk all ingredients, except chicken, in a large mixing bowl.
  • Add chicken breasts and coat them in the mixture very well. Try to get some of the mixture under the skin so the flavors cook through more.
  • Marinade chicken breasts for about 15 minutes.
  • Place on a seasoned cast iron skillet (you can use a baking dish as well, or a roasting pan), spread the marinade over chicken and bake for 60-75 minutes, depending on the size of chicken breasts. Cut into the thickest part of the chicken and press lightly. If juice runs out clear, it's ready.
