Chili Lime Broiled Chicken Thighs with Pineapple Cucumber Salad

It’s time for another 15 minute dinner recipe.

That’s right! A full, delicious meal, done and ready to eat in 15 minutes! Let’s do this!!

Chili Lime Broiled Chicken Thighs with Pineapple Cucumber Salad…

It’s hot outside. I know this. You know this.

So while this meal requires the use of your oven’s broiler, it’s only 13 minutes, and then you can shut ‘er down. The bold and zippy flavor of the crispy skinned chicken thighs pair PERFECTLY with the cool, crisp and refreshing pineapple cucumber salad.

It’s hot and cold. It’s savory and sweet. It’s completely delicious I tell you!

The rub that is used for the chicken thighs is simple. Lime zest, chili powder and salt. I love the combination of the tangy lime zest with the spicy chili powder. They are a flavor-power packing duo that your tastebuds will delight in.

Rub the chicken breasts with the flavorful spice mixture directly on the baking sheet. Less dishes (I’m on your side).

Toss them in the oven, give them just one turn and that’s it!

Your quick weeknight dinner is ready in no time!

Beautifully crisp on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside.

I’m in love with the simplicity of this chicken.

When it’s paired with the pineapple cucumber salad, it’s unstoppable.

Get this on your menu, you’ll love every last bite of it.
