This Chili Lime Marinade is a recipe I developed a few years ago with grilling season in mind, but it's one we come back to again & again all year-round. It's bright & zesty with a smoky-sweet punch of flavor & it couldn’t be easier to make! You need just 8 simple ingredients, all of which are probably already on hand in your kitchen: tons of fresh lime, smoky & aromatic spices, & the littlest bit of agave nectar for balanced sweetness. Simply mix it up & marinate your favorite protein – chicken, steak, shrimp, tofu, whatever! You can roast it, sauté it, broil it, or grill it to make everything from Chili Lime Chicken to 20-Minute Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas. Be sure to check the Recipe Notes, below, for easy recipe swaps & marinade tips, & read through the blog post, above, for plenty of pairing suggestions. An all-purpose marinade you'll come back to again & again! ♡ Happy cooking!
