Ingredients

Garlic4 cloves
Olive oil2 tbsp
Salt0.75 tsp
Black pepper0.25 tsp
Green onion2 stalks

Method

1

In a mixing bowl, combine cilantro, lime juice, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to form the marinade.

2

Pat chicken dry and place in a shallow dish. Pour marinade over chicken, turning to coat evenly. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes or up to 12 hours.

3

Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade, letting excess liquid drip off.

4

Grill or pan-sear chicken 6–8 minutes per side, until internal temperature reaches 165°F on a meat thermometer and juices run clear.

5

Let chicken rest 3–5 minutes, then slice or serve whole. Garnish with sliced green onion and serve with grain and vegetable sides of choice.
