Fajita Marinade For Baked Or Grilled Chicken

This is a simple, quick and delicious meal
to cook inside or outside.

Ingredients:

3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1/2 cup avocado oil

1/4 cup lime juice

2 tablespoons white wine vinegar

2 teaspoons chili powder

1 teaspoon cumin

1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika

2 teaspoons onion powder

4 cloves (4 teaspoons) garlic, minced or pressed

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Method:

Cut each chicken breasts into 3 long sections. Place in a ziploc bag.

Mix together the remaining ingredients and pour over the chicken. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or longer. The uncooked chicken in marinade may be frozen for up to 3 months.

When ready to cook, allow to thaw in the refrigerator overnight.

To Bake: Preheat oven to 400*. Place the chicken and marinade in a lightly greased a baking dish. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes or until the chicked is cooked through. (160*)

To Grill: Heat grill to 400*. Grill for 15 minutes or until cooked through to 160*.

We have an outdoor grill, but sometimes for
 small amounts of meats I use an indoor grill.

Makes 5 to 6 servings.

Serving suggestions: 

Thinly slice 2 bell peppers (of any color) and grill with the chicken.

Serve on top of rice, with warm tortillas, sliced roma tomatoes, sliced avocados, grated cheese, cilantro leaves, salsa and/or a lime wedge.

Notes: This marinade produces a nicely mild flavored chicken. If you like spicy foods, add your favorite salsa to the meal.

I suggest preparing the chicken and marinade and putting it in the frezer. It's nice to have on hand and quick to cook.
