Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast halves
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp. ground cumin
  • 1 tbsp. ground red chili pepper
  • 1 tsp. crushed oregano or thyme
  • ½ tsp. garlic powder
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • 2 tbsp. canola (or other) oil
  • 1 jalapeno chile, seeded and minced (wear gloves)
  • ½ - ¾ cup beer

Directions

1

Cut chicken crosswise into ⅜-inch-wide strips; place in shallow glass dish.

2

Combine all ingredients and stir until dry ingredients are incorporated.

3

Pour mixture over chicken; toss to coat well. Cover; marinate in refrigerator at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours, stirring mixture occasionally.

4

Soak 8 (10- to 12-inch) skewers 20 minutes in cold water to prevent them from burning; drain. Prepare grill for direct cooking.

5

Drain chicken; reserve marinade. Weave 3 to 4 chicken strips accordion-style onto each skewer. Brush chicken with reserved marinade. Discard remaining marinade.

6

Place skewers on grid. Grill skewers on uncovered grill over medium-hot coals 6 to 8 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink, turning halfway through grilling time.
