Wow that seasoning really makes a difference! This is my new favorite way to make chicken breast!

This was so full of flavor and so delicious! Thank you!

This dish makes my mouth water just looking at the pictures.  I bought a bottle of tajin just to make it.  It's what's for dinner tonight.  Yum!

My chicken breasts turned out so flavorful and juicy! Thank you for the recipe!

I've had tajin seasoning in my cupboard for a while now and just didn't know what to do with it until I came across the recipe! This has become one of my new favorite weeknight dinners.

I cannot believe how much flavor my chicken had! I didn't do the optional marinating step and it was still so good. Can't wait to try that step next time.
I stuffed this into some taco boats with a bit of shredded lettuce and it made the perfect lunch!

We loved this chicken! I had a big container of Tajin that I bought to make Mexican street corn and was googling more ways to use this yummy seasoning and came across this recipe. We grilled it and it was super yummy. Thanks!
