Grilled Cilantro Lime Chicken
Grilled chicken is one of the best easy and quick recipes for a diet. Present chicken breasts with the refreshing, tangy taste of lime and delicious cilantro.
Ingredients
- Chicken Breast: 8 breasts boneless, skinless
- Fresh Cilantro: 1 bunch
- Lime Zest: from 1 lime
- Lime Juice: from 2 limes
- Garlic: 3 cloves minced
- Ground Coriander: 1 teaspoon
- Salt: 1 teaspoon
- Black Pepper: 1 teaspoon
- Olive Oil: 2 tablespoons
Instructions
- In a blender, combine the fresh cilantro, lime zest, lime juice, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, ground coriander, and olive oil.
- Blend the ingredients until they are completely mixed and smooth.
- Place the chicken in a large, sealable bag and add the marinade to it.
- Press the air out of the bag and seal it tightly. Gently press the marinade around the chicken pieces to coat them completely. Refrigerate for a full night (or at least a few hours) so the chicken absorbs the marinade.
- Lightly oil the grill and preheat it to medium heat.
- Place the chicken breasts on the grill. Grill for about 5 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked.
- Transfer to a serving platter and serve hot.
