- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, mix together the lime juice, olive oil, cilantro, minced garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper.
- Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a resealable bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure it’s well coated. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Serve with Flair: Serve your grilled chicken with extra cilantro and lime wedges on the side.
Notes
For best results, marinate for a few hours or overnight. You can also cook indoors using a grill pan or bake in an oven.
