As soon as the weather warms up, my husband prepares the BBQ for the summer season. He cleans it and changes whatever needs to be changed. BBQ is an important part of life in our home! BBQ recipes and especially BBQ Chicken recipes are part of our summer traditions! They are healthy, quick and delicious. They allows us to spend more quality time with our family and friends!

BBQ Chicken breasts with lime
This recipe was inspired from LifeMadeDelicious website: Grilled Chile Lime Chicken Recipe
Ingredients for this BBQ Chicken recipe
2 tsp (10 mL) grated lime peel
1/4 cup (50 mL) lime juice
1/4 cup (50 mL) olive or vegetable oil
2 tbsp (30 mL) chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 tsp (2 mL) sugar
1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt
1 small jalapeno chile, seeded, finely chopped: I didn’t use this ingredient because it is too hot for my 5 year-old.
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (1 1/4 lb/625 g)
How to prepare this BBQ Chicken recipe
– First, prepare the marinade! (All the ingredients, except the chicken)
-Then mix marinade and chicken. Let it rest in the fridge for few hours
-Grill the chicken (without the marinade). It will take between 8 and 10 minutes or until juice is clear.
-I usually serve with my favorite grilled vegetables
What I love most about BBQ Chicken recipes and any other BBQ recipes is that it is easy, healthy, quick and most of all: my husband can do it! We usually have BBQ dinners 5 days out of 7! We also have a tradition after the BBQ dinner: we grab our bikes and go for a ride! When we come back, we treat ourselves with a delicious homemade dessert.
