Ingredients

  • 2 lb chicken thighs
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lime
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 2 bell peppers

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a bowl, whisk 3 tbsp olive oil, juice of 1 lime, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp salt, and 0.5 tsp pepper. Add 2 lb chicken thighs and coat well. Marinate 15 minutes at room temperature.

  2. 2

    Preheat grill to medium-high (about 400°F). Cut 2 bell peppers into wide strips and toss with a little oil and salt.

  3. 3

    Place chicken on grill, skin-side down. Cook 6-7 minutes until grill marks form and chicken releases easily.

  4. 4

    Flip chicken, add pepper strips to grill. Cook 6-8 minutes more until chicken is cooked through (165°F internal) and peppers are charred and tender.

  5. 5

    Rest chicken 5 minutes before serving. Serve with grilled peppers and any extra lime wedges.
