Instructions:

1. Begin by marinating the chicken. In a bowl, combine lime juice, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and olive oil. Mix well.
2. Dip each chicken breast into the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes.
3. While the chicken is marinating, let’s prepare the Cream Salsa Sauce. In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, chopped tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño. Mix until well combined. Set aside.
4. Preheat your BBQ grill to medium heat. Once hot, place the marinated chicken breasts on the grill.
5. Grill each side for about 6-7 minutes or until fully cooked.
6. During the last 2 minutes of grilling, brush the BBQ sauce over the chicken breasts.
7. Once cooked, remove from grill and let them rest for a few minutes.

Tips:

1. For juicier Lime BBQ Chicken, marinate for longer – up to an hour if possible.
2. If you prefer your Cream Salsa Sauce to be creamier, add an extra half cup of Greek yogurt.
3. Always let your chicken rest after grilling to allow the juices to redistribute.

Serving Suggestions:

• Slice the Lime BBQ Chicken and drizzle the Cream Salsa Sauce over it.
• Pair this dish with a light salad or roasted veggies for a balanced meal.
• Serve with tortilla chips on the side, allowing guests to use the Cream Salsa Sauce as a dip.
• Complete the meal with a refreshing cold beverage, perhaps a lime-infused iced tea or a sparkling water with a lime wedge.

Lime BBQ Chicken with Cream Salsa Sauce Bar is more than just a recipe – it’s a culinary experience. Embrace the zest, relish the creaminess, and most importantly, enjoy every bite. Happy grilling, AH7 foodies!
