Cilantro Chicken
My sister comes for dinner every Tuesday and is an incredible foodie. I always try and make something full of flavour and colour to appeal to her love of food. This super easy and healthy chicken did the trick! I served it with a green salad and sauteed snow peas and asparagus. The combination tasted like spring!
CILANTRO CHICKEN:
6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
juice of one lemon
juice of one lime
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 cup freshly chopped cilantro
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp toasted sesame oil
1 tbsp soya sauce
1 tbsp brown sugar
Flatten chicken breasts by pounding between sheets of Seran wrap. If you do not have a kitchen mallet/hammer, use the bottom of a cast iron pan.
Put remaining ingredients into a bowl and swish around with your fingers to mix. Add chicken and move around to make sure all pieces are covered with the georgeous marinate. Let sit for one hour or up to 4 hours. Grill on medium heat 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from grill, cover and let rest for 5 minutes.
I guess I should also mention, I made grilled garlic bread with a day old loaf of foccacia…. hey, all in moderation, right?
Enjoy!! YUM!
I am the sister who gets to devour Lisa’s amazing recipes each Tuesday! one word….awesome!
…and we LOVE having you!
This is on my menu tonight, can’t wait to make it!!
Great Jodi! Let us know how it turns out for you!
DELICIOUS & easy to make! It was a hit!
My kids & husband loved it! The chicken was moist & flavourful.
My cooking time was quite a bit longer, only because I realized afterwards that using a pot to flatten the chicken doesn’t work so well. Next time I would get mallet or something stronger to flatten the chicken thin enough.
I will definitely make this again!
