Grilled Taco Chicken - Taco Salad

I have cookbook club tomorrow - and we are making soups!  The Chicken Tortilla Soup calls for "1 recipe of Grilled Taco Chicken" - so I figured it would be perfect to make it the night beforehand as a meal - and use the leftovers for the soup tomorrow!!  I used the chicken in a "taco salad" - but you could use with tacos, burritos, or just with rice and a veggie.

Our Best Bites

Ingredients
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2-3 juicy limes
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin
salt and pepper

Place the chicken breasts in a heavy-duty zip lock baggie.  Squeeze limes over chicken.  Add splash of vinegar and the minced garlic.  Seal the bag and shake to distribute the marinade.  Marinate for 4-8 hours.

Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400 degrees).  Combine chili powder, cumin, salt, pepper in a small bowl.  Remove chicken from bag and discard the used marinade.  Rub the spices into the chicken.

Place chicken breasts on the hot grill.  Grill for 7 minutes, turn, and grill for an additional 5-7 minutes (5 for smaller chicken breasts, no longer than 7 minutes for larger ones.)  Remove from heat to plate and allow to stand for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
