Southwest Chicken

I thought this chicken was okay. It had a mild flavor, but not something I would care for. I was expecting something better based on all the high reviews.

I LOOOVED this chicken. Seriously 10 out of 10! Based on the two negative reviews - we only used 2 TBL loosly packed brown sugar. We put all the rest of the spices (plus the sugar) into a big zip lock bag. Then cut 2 lbs boneless / skinless chicken breasts into halfs. We then put olive oil over the chicken and added fresh ground pepper (as the recipe didn't call for any). Then put the oiled chicken into the bag shook to coat and then into the fridge for about 3 hours. The chicken went onto the grill at about 475 for about 12 minutes. We added the fresh squeezed lime over the chicken upon serving. My husband and I as well as our guests loved this chicken. If you enjoy southwest flavoring and chicken you will love this chicken. Very easy!

I put the rub on some boneless, skinless chicken breasts and marinated it overnight. Although I like spicy foods, this was way too overpowering and way too salty! We did not care for this at all!

Great chicken! I rubbed a bit of olive oil with the seasonings into the chicken breasts and grilled on our gas grill. I cooked it immed. and found it juicy and flavorful. I didn't find it too sweet at all! Maybe it was the grill but I tasted the spices predominantly. I served with tortellini and alfredo sauce and tossed salad. I will make this recipe often!

I liked this recipe, didn't love it. The balance of spices was good, but it was too sweet for my taste. I might make it again if I were to reduce the amount of sugar. I used on boneless skinless chicken breasts and cooked in the oven. The chicken came out moist and was visually appealing.

Yum, yum, yum!! this recipe was amazing! We changed it just a bit - we halved the ingredients and cut up a chicken breast into bit sized pieces. We then mixed the seasoning in a bowl, tossed it with the chicken pieces, and sauteed in a small amount of olive oil over medium heat. We served the chicken over salad, but think it would be amazing over rice as well. Thanks for posting such a healthy and tasty recipe!!!

This was very easy to put together and the flavor is wonderful. I used a cut-up chicken and baked in the oven but I will be trying this on the grill or smoker this summer. Thank you for posting!

I was looking for a new easy chicken dish and this was great. The rub was easy and very tasty. I served it with corn tortillas, avacados and salad. I will definitely make it again!

***** This was really good I did marinate overnight and used chicken thighs. I will be making this again served with some rice and a salad. I did bake mine in the oven but will be trying this on the grill once spring rolls around. Thanks for posting this easy way to make chicken

I tried this recipe because it looked so quick and easy to make, and it was delicious! My husband and I both loved it! I will probably add more cayenne pepper next time since my husband likes spicier food, but it was great! We will definitely make this again! Thank you!

WONDERFUL! DELICIOUS! I followed the recipe as stated with only 1 change I used splenda's brown sugar. I let the chicken marinate over night and then cooked as directed. Beautiful colour, superb taste, my guests were raving about it. TY for posting.WIll be making it again and again.

My husband and I LOVED this recipe! The spices were just right, although we like it spicier so we used 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper, and that still wasn't enough for our tastes, we may step it up to 3/4 - 1 tsp next time. I baked this recipe in the oven for 50 minutes at 375 in an aluminum foil covered roasting pan and it turned out perfect. It wasn't over cooked, perfectly moist, and no pink in the middle! I made the marinade in the morning and let the chicken sit in it throughout the day, then cooked for dinner that evening. The flavoring was absorbed well by the chicken and we will definitely make this recipe again!

A delicious mix of spices with a little sweetness. I also reduced the salt. I did not let the rub sit for 4hrs, I'm sure it would be better but it tasted great anyway. I did loosely place a piece of foil over at the 30 min mark as I was afraid the outside would overcook before the inside was done. Removed foil the last 5 min. 350 may be a better temp. in my oven. Will make again. Thanks!

Extremly good chicken!! I had this with "Ortega's Mexican Rice" on here and the tastes went together so good! I scaled the recipe down to 2 servings and was able to cook the chicken in a skillet than the oven and it came out faster. Smells soo good. thanks for sharing this one..it 's a keeper!

I really liked the chicken, I thought it was a bit salty, so I'll reduce the salt a little. We cooked up a whole cut up chicken and had to double the rub recipe, perhaps that was why it was a little salty. We also squirted a little lime on the chicken as it cooked, very good!

Fantastic!! I knew this would be good, but was surprised just how good it really was. The whole family loved the balance of sweet and spicy. I used three monster-sized chicken breasts with bones and skin and baked at 350 for an hour. Used the rub and baked right away, and the chicken turned out moist and flavorful. Marinating overnight would be superb. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

I made this for a summer bbq - did it on the grill in a foil lined pan and it was delicious, - used tenderloins and they stayed very soft. I marinaded the chicken beforehand and then once browned I squeezed the lime over while it was cooking and it was absolutely divine and enjoyed by all! Thanks for the recipe - this is a keeper!!

We really enjoyed this savory chicken recipe. For me, it could have used less brown sugar. I had trouble with it burning on some of the pieces (not shown) and on the bottom of the pan (I should have used the foil). I enjoyed the flavor, but wasn't crazy about the sweetness part. I will make it again, only reduce the brown sugar to about half of the 1/4 cup or maybe a tablespoon. Thanks! Pam
