These marinated Yucatan chicken skewers are exceptional when complemented by our Spice of Life™ Cilantro Lime potatoes and zesty lime cream sauce.
Ingredients
- 1 bag of Alexia® Spice of Life™ Cilantro Lime (16 oz)
- 6 Chicken Breast, skinless and boneless, cut in half lengthwise
- ½ cup Orange Juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 tbsp Canola Oil
- 2 tbsp Ancho Chili Powder
- 3 Garlic Cloves, coarsley chopped
- 2 tbsp Chipotle in Adobo Sauce, chopped
- Kosher Salt, to taste
- Black Pepper, to taste
- 1 cup Mexican Crema or Sour Cream
- 3 tbsp Lime Juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 tsp Lime Zest, finely grated
- ½ cup Lime Juice freshly squeezed
Directions
-
Prepare the potatoes according to package instructions.
-
Place chicken into a large shallow baking dish. Whisk together orange juice, lime juice, oil, chili powder, garlic, and chipotle. Pour over chicken and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
-
Skewer each half chicken breast with 2 skewers so that they lay flat. Prepare the grill on high heat. Remove the chicken breast from the marinade and sprinkle with salt and pepper on both sides.
-
Place the chicken directly over the grill and cook until each side becomes golden brown and slightly charred, about 4 minutes per side. Turn, cover the grill, and cook for another 3-4 minutes until tender.
-
Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes.
-
In a bowl, mix Mexican crema, lime juice, and salt. Finish with extra lime zest as a garnish on top. Refrigerate if making well ahead of time. Serve as a dip.
-
Cut the Yucatan chicken breast directly down the center, creating 2 skewers. Serve with Cilantro Lime potatoes and lime crema sauce.
