Smoky, zesty, and full of bold flavour, this chipotle lime chicken recipe brings a fiery twist to your weeknight dinner or weekend grill.

Chipotle lime chicken

Typically described as:

Chipotle lime chicken is a vibrant fusion of smoky heat and citrus zing, perfect for lovers of bold flavours. Inspired by Mexican cuisine, this dish uses dried smoked chipotle flakes to add deep, earthy spice, balanced perfectly with the brightness of fresh lime. It’s ideal for summer barbecues, meal prepping, or as a centrepiece in tacos, rice bowls, or salads.

Cooking time:
Prep: 10 minutes
Marinate: 30 minutes–4 hours
Cook: 15 minutes

Portions:
Serves 4 people

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • Juice and zest of 2 limes

  • 1 ½ tsp dried smoked chipotle flakes

  • 2 garlic cloves, finely grated

  • 1 tsp ground cumin

  • ½ tsp smoked paprika

  • ½ tsp salt

  • ¼ tsp ground black pepper

  • 1 tbsp honey (optional, for a touch of sweetness)

  • Fresh coriander, chopped (to garnish)

  • Lime wedges, to serve

  1. In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice and zest, chipotle flakes, garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and honey (if using).

  2. Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or resealable bag and pour over the marinade. Coat the chicken well, cover or seal, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (ideally 2–4 hours for more depth of flavour).

  3. Preheat a grill pan, barbecue, or oven grill to medium-high heat.

  4. Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook for 5–7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked through and has a lovely char. Internal temperature should reach 75°C.

  5. Rest the chicken for 5 minutes, then slice and garnish with chopped coriander and lime wedges.
