2 boneless skinless chicken breasts

Instructions

  • For marinating the chicken

    1. Combine the extra virgin olive oil, water, lime juice, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce in a bowl.
    2. Transfer the marinade into a ziplock bag along with the boneless skinless chicken breasts.
    3. Marinate for 30 minutes to a few hours to ensure the lime juice does not overpower the chicken.
    4. Grill the marinated chicken breasts until they are no longer pink in the middle, approximately 6 minutes on each side if using a George Foreman grill.
    5. Remove the chicken from the grill and wrap it in aluminum foil.
    6. Allow the chicken to rest for ten minutes before slicing.
    7. Serve the sliced chicken with tortillas, sautéed onions, and peppers.
