Cilantro Chicken




Source of Recipe


Sunset, MARCH 2006






Recipe Introduction


Fresh cilantro, lime juice, honey, and garlic add zip to this simple, healthy main dish.





List of Ingredients



• 4 boned, skinned chicken breast halves (2 lb. total)
  
• 1/4 cup lime juice
  
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  
• 6 cloves garlic, chopped
  
• 1 tablespoon honey
  
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
  
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
  
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  






Instructions



1. Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness (about 1/2 in.) and place in a shallow baking pan.
   
2. In a small bowl, mix lime juice, cilantro, garlic, honey, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Pour over chicken and turn pieces to coat evenly. Cover and chill at least 30 minutes or overnight.
   
3. Lay chicken on a grill over medium heat (you can hold your hand over the surface only 4 to 5 seconds) and cook, turning once, until no longer pink in the center, 4 to 6 minutes per side.
