Description

A bright, citrusy fajita chicken recipe perfect for family dinners or big get-togethers!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1 cup fresh lime juice
  • 2/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon Adolph’s meat tenderizer
  • 1 tablespoon seasoning salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 garlic cloves, grated with a microplane or 
  • 2 to 3 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast

Instructions

  1. Combine all of the marinade ingredients in a large container with a lid.  Add the chicken, turning once to ensure the chicken is coated.  Preferably, use a container that will completely submerge the chicken in the marinade.  Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours.  Do not marinate more than 12 hours or the acid in the marinade will begin to affect the texture of the chicken.
  2. To cook, preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 8 to 10 minutes per side, until the juices run clear and the chicken is cooked through. Slice and serve.

Notes

Marinate the chicken between 8-12 hours, but don’t worry if you forget and marinate too longer-the chicken will still be tasty, but the texture might be affected!
