A flavorful and easy-to-make grilled chicken recipe with a zesty lime and spicy butter drizzle.
Combine the cinnamon, chili powder, brown sugar, cocoa powder, salt, and black pepper in a mixing bowl.
Mix the spices thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of flavors.
Add the olive oil to the seasoning mix and stir to form a paste.
The paste should have a smooth consistency for easy application.
Rub the seasoning paste evenly over the chicken breasts.
Ensure the chicken is fully coated for maximum flavor.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked.
Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
In a small saucepan, melt the butter and stir in the lime juice, minced serrano chili, and chopped cilantro.
Heat gently to avoid burning the butter.
Drizzle the lime butter over the grilled chicken before serving.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and presentation.
