Ingredients
- 2 lbs skinless boneless chicken thighs
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp chili powder
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp cumin
- 4 cups watermelon
- 1/4 tsp cayenne
- 1 pkg fresh mint
- 1 lime
Directions
- Set a grill to medium-high heat. Place the chicken thighs in a large bowl and coat with 2 tbsp olive oil. Mix together chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, cayenne, salt (in moderation), and pepper. Toss spice mix with chicken.
- Cook chicken over hottest part of the grill for 3 min. on each side or until grill marks form.
- Lower heat and cook for an additional 10–12 min., or until an internal thermometer reads 165°F when inserted into the thickest part of the flesh. For best results allow chicken to rest, loosely covered with foil, for at least 10 min.
- While chicken cooks, dice the watermelon into small cubes and place in a large bowl. Chop the mint and juice the lime. Add mint and lime juice to watermelon. Season with remaining olive oil, salt (in moderation), and pepper to taste.
- Serve chicken with watermelon salsa.
