Ingredients
  

INGREDIENTS:
  • Chicken: 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • Lime: 2 whole limes juiced
  • Salt: 1 tsp 5 g
  • Black Pepper: ½ tsp 2.5 g
  • Garlic Powder: 1 tsp 5 g
  • Olive Oil: 2 tbsp 30 ml
  • BBQ Sauce: 1 cup 240 ml
  • Greek Yogurt: 1 cup 240 ml
  • Tomatoes: 2 medium-sized chopped
  • Red Onion: 1 small finely chopped
  • Cilantro: A handful chopped
  • Jalapeño: 1 seeds removed and finely chopped – optional for added heat

Method
 

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.

Notes

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