Cilantro lime chicken
Cilantro lime chicken
A simple and tasty grilled or baked chicken dish.
Ingredients (5 servings)
Juice of 4 limes and zest of 1 lime
2 TB olive oil
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 tsp salt
3 garlic cloves, smashed and minced
1 tbs freshly ground black pepper
1 whole chicken, cut into pieces (may also use chicken thighs or breasts)
Whisk the lime juice, zest, oil, cilantro, salt, garlic and pepper in a large bowl. Add chicken pieces and coat well. Marinate in the refrigerator at least 1 hour, may marinate overnight. Remove chicken from marinade, shake off excess and discard remaining marinade. Cook on a preheated grill, turning occasionally, until done. Juices should run clear and internal temp (near bone) should read 165 degrees. Takes approximately 25 to 35 minutes. You may also cook this in a 350 degree oven, about 30 minutes.
