Grilled Adobo-Rubbed Chicken offers a flavorful and juicy chicken main course. This recipe uses a zesty adobo rub and grilling techniques to create a delightful meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 ounces each)
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, oregano, onion powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). This is your adobo rub.
  2. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels.
  3. Rub the adobo spice mixture generously over all sides of the chicken breasts.
  4. Drizzle the olive oil and lime juice over the seasoned chicken.
  5. Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
  6. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400-450°F or 200-230°C).
  7. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
  8. Place the chicken breasts on the hot grill.
  9. Grill for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  10. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your preferred spice level.
  • For extra flavor, marinate the chicken overnight.
  • Serve with your favorite sides like rice, salad, or grilled vegetables.
  • Leftover grilled chicken is excellent in sandwiches or salads.
