Cilantro-Lime Chicken Recipe

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • Juice and zest of 2 limes
  • 1/3 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder (optional, for heat)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade:

    • In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, lime zest, cilantro, minced garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder (if using), salt, and pepper.

  2. Marinate the Chicken:

    • Place the chicken in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish.
    • Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well coated.
    • Seal the bag (or cover the dish) and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 8 hours for maximum flavor.

  3. Cook the Chicken:

    • Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
    • Pan-Sear: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil and cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, until golden brown and fully cooked.
    • Bake: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the marinated chicken on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through.

  4. Serve:

    • Remove the chicken from the grill, skillet, or oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
    • Garnish with extra chopped cilantro and lime wedges for a fresh, zesty finish.

Serving Suggestions:

  • Serve with steamed rice, quinoa, or a fresh green salad.
  • Pair with roasted vegetables or a side of guacamole and tortilla chips for a Tex-Mex twist.

Enjoy your vibrant and flavorful Cilantro-Lime Chicken! 🌿🍋
