  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 4 boneless and skinless chicken breasts

  • 1/2 cup (125 ml) beer
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1/2 cup grated Mozzarella cheese
