Southwest Basic Grilled Chicken Recipe
Southwest Basic Grilled Chicken Recipe-February 2024
Feb 12, 2026 2:22 AM

  This chicken is excellent to have on hand if you’re as huge a fan of Mexican cuisine as I am. Add it to salad, soups, Southwest wraps, and more. If you use just a touch of salt along with a salt-free Mexican or Southwest seasoning, it will have a ridiculously small fraction of the sodium of any taco, burrito, or fajita seasoning I’ve seen in grocery stores, not to mention far fewer preservatives.

  

Ingredients

makes 4 servings

  1 pound trimmed boneless, skinless chicken breast

  1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil

  2 teaspoons salt-free Mexican seasoning or rub (I used Southwest Chipotle Mrs. Dash)

  Salt, to taste

  

Step 1

Preheat a grill to high heat. Toss the chicken breast with the olive oil and season both sides with seasoning and salt. Grill the chicken until it is no longer pink inside, about 5 minutes per side.
