Chili Lime Chicken is tender and exploding with flavor from an EASY rub - perfect for salad, pasta, tacos etc.
In a small bowl, whisk chicken rub ingredients together and rub evenly all over chicken breasts. Time permitting, allow chicken to sit for 30 minutes at room temperature or refrigerate up to 8 hours then bring to room temperature before cooking.
