Ingredients

  • 4 chicken breast about 7–8 ounces each
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 4 cloves garlic mincd
  • 4 limes juiced
  • 1/2 tablespoon coarse salt
  • Black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Mix the marinade ingredients in a large mixing bowl until well combined.
  • Add the chicken to the marinade, making sure each piece is coated. Cover and let the chicken marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels. Drizzle the chicken with a bit of oil to prevent sticking while cooking.
  • Preheat your grill to high heat. Grill the chicken for about 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. For best results, use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked through.
