INGREDIENTS

  • Marinade

    • ½ cup vegetable oil
    • 2 tablespoons chili powder
    • 2 tablespoons lime juice
    • 2 tablespoons honey
    • 2 tablespoons garlic powder
    • ½ teaspoon paprika
    • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • Main

    • 🍗 3 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into strips

STEPS

1

Gather the ingredients.

2

Whisk vegetable oil, chili powder, lime juice, honey, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper together in a medium bowl until well combined.

3

Place chicken strips in a large resealable plastic bag. Pour in marinade and knead to coat; squeeze out excess air, seal bag, and marinate in the refrigerator for 4 hours to overnight.

4

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove chicken strips from marinade; discard any unused marinade.

5

Cook chicken on the preheated grill until browned on all sides and chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 10 minutes per side. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest piece should read at least 160°F (70°C).
