Grilled Chicken Breasts With Turmeric and Lime

Nutrition Notes

Ingredients

• 4 to 6 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, about 1 1/2 pounds
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
• 1/2 teaspoon chile powder
• 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary (or 2 teaspoons dried)
• 1 teaspoon finely minced garlic
• Salt to taste if desired
• Freshly ground pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons melted butter

Preparation

1. 1

   Step 1

   Heat a grill or the broiler. Put the oil in a mixing bowl; and lime juice, chile powder, turmeric, rosemary, garlic, salt and pepper. Stir to blend well and add the chicken pieces. Turn them in the marinade to coat well. Cover and set aside until ready to cook. If they are to be marinated for a long period, refrigerate them.

   Step 2

   Place chicken pieces on the grill or on the rack under the broiler. Cover the grill or close the door to the broiler. Cook about 2 to 3 minutes and turn the pieces. Continue cooking until done, about 2 to 3 minutes on the grill, possibly a little longer under the broiler. (Keep in mind that when this recipe was developed, in 1985, boneless chicken breasts weren’t nearly as enormous as most are today, so adjust your cook time accordingly.)
