Santa Cruz chicken






This is a recipe with a little help from the internet.

Approximately 1 pound of boneless skinless chicken breast. If they’re thick slice them horizontally.

In a large Ziploc bag, place chicken , add about a tablespoon of 2 tablespoons lime juice, a teaspoon of salt, pinch or two of cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder and 1/4 tsp. Cumin and 
 at least 1 tsp. paprika.  Rub all spices into chicken and allow to refrigerate several hours or overnight. I did allow mine to refrigerate over night.

NOTE :  You can be heavy on the spices if you like.

I use a grill pan  coated with vegetable oil on medium heat. Once pan has heated add chicken.  

Grill on side approximately 5 minutes and turn.  You will
See noticeable scoring from grill. Turn chicken ,grill on other side and grill for 5  to 8 minutes.  ***No visable pink inside but so tender and juicy. ( cooking time varies depending on thickness of chicken.  Enjoy!


PS. I grilled s scored zucchini in the same pan. (Season well)
