Description
A zesty Mexican-inspired dish with marinated chicken, charred jalapeños, and corn grilled to perfection. The tangy lime and smoky flavors create a vibrant, balanced meal for any occasion.
Ingredients
4 boneless chicken breasts
0.25 cup lime juice
3 tbsp olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp cumin
0.25 tsp salt and pepper
3 jalapeños, sliced
4 ears of corn
0.25 cup crumbled cotija cheese
1 bunch fresh cilantro
Lime wedges (as needed)
Instructions
Combine lime juice, 2 tbsp olive oil, garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper for the marinade
Marinate chicken breasts for 30 minutes in the refrigerator
Heat Blackstone griddle to medium-high, add remaining olive oil
Grill chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until 165°F and charred
Toss grilled jalapeños and corn on the griddle until tender and slightly charred
Top with cotija cheese and fresh cilantro before serving
Notes
Use thighs for richer flavor
Replace olive oil with avocado oil for a higher smoke point
Feta cheese works as cotija substitute
Add extra jalapeños for more heat
Cilantro can be swapped for parsley
