How to Make Basil Lime Chicken on the Ninja Foodi Grill

Cris here.

Today we are sharing a tried and true favorite we have made for years! In fact, we first shared Basil Lime Chicken on our sister site many moons ago. And, folks have loved it so much that we converted it into a crock pot recipe a while back.

So, now that we are sharing recipes for one of our new favorite kitchen appliances- our Ninja Foodi Grill-– I knew we HAD to share this recipe with you guys. If you don’t have a Foodi Grill, you can still follow the recipe and make it on your outdoor grill.

3 Steps to Amazing Flavor and Tender Chicken

  • Use our Garlic Lime Marinade and marinade your chicken for at least an hour or for even more flavor, marinade the day before.
  • Grill the chicken over medium heat for 7 minutes on each side or until the chicken reaches at least 170 degrees on a meat thermometer. Then allow the chicken to rest 3 minutes after removing from the grill before slicing into it.
  • Slice chicken and top with our Basil Lime Dressing before serving.

Recipe Notes

  • This is the grill version of our very popular slow cooker recipe: Crock Pot Basil Lime Chicken
  • You can marinade the recipe overnight, if needed.
  • We love making this recipe with our Ninja Foodi Grill, but you can make it with your outdoor grill too.
  • We like to use this tool to zest limes. You will be amazed how much flavor lime zest can add to your dishes AND it is way easier to do than you think.
  • Another great tool to have on hand is this hand held juicer. We use it ALL the time.
  • We use boneless skinless thighs in this recipe. You can also use other cuts of meat, cooking times will vary. Use a meat thermometer to make sure you get tender chicken every time by cooking to at least 170 and resting the meat for at least 3 minutes before cutting.

General Notes

  • We like to use the Ninja Foodi Grill as an indoor option for our grill recipes.
  • Looking for more recipes? Our Recipe Finder can help you find exactly what you need.
  • Check out all our favorite recommendations for cookbooks, slow cookers and low carb essentials in our Amazon Influencer Shop.
  • As with any of our recipes, carb counts, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly. As a result, your nutritional content depends on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish. The auto-calculation is just an automated estimate and should NOT be used for specific dietary needs.
  • All grills cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline. Recipes should always be tested first in your own grill and time adjusted as needed.

    We’ve used this recipe for both Chicken Thighs and Lamb Chops. It works with both spectacularly. The marinade apparently makes the meat tender, juicy and delicious. We will try this with Pork Chops next
