Grilled (or Baked) Cilantro Lime Chicken

Step 1

Place chicken breasts in a mixing bowl, baking dish, or plastic bag. You'll need something that can be covered/closed so the chicken can sit in the marinade.

Step 2

Next, create the marinade. In a small mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, cilantro, garlic, lime juice, lime zest, cumin, salt & pepper. Mix until combined. Pour marinade over chicken and ensure all chicken gets coated with marinade.

Step 3

Cover chicken and place in refrigerator. Let chicken marinade for a minimum of 30 minutes, but you can marinade overnight as well.

Step 4

When ready, preheat grill to 400-425 degrees F. Take chicken out of fridge and allow to sit at room temp while grill is preheating (this helps the chicken to cook more evenly and create even juicier chicken).

Step 5

Grill chicken on each side for roughly 6-8 minutes, or until internal temperature at the thickest part reaches 165 degrees F. Total cooking time will vary pending how large your chicken breasts are.
