A flavorful and easy-to-make grilled chicken recipe with a zesty lime marinade and a hint of spice.
Toast the cumin seeds, black peppercorns, and coriander seeds in a skillet over medium heat until fragrant.
Stir the spices frequently to prevent burning and ensure even toasting.
Grind the toasted spices into a fine powder and mix with sugar and salt in a small bowl.
Use a spice grinder or a mortar and pestle for best results.
Combine the garlic, lime juice, cilantro, and apple cider vinegar in a mixing bowl to create the marinade.
Crush the garlic cloves slightly to release their flavor before mixing.
Rub the spice mix onto the chicken breasts and place them in a ziploc bag with the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
For deeper flavor, marinate the chicken overnight in the refrigerator.
Grill the chicken over medium heat until fully cooked, turning occasionally for even cooking.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Serve the grilled chicken with your choice of sides and garnish with fresh cilantro.
Serve with lime wedges for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
