Grilled Chicken With Cilantro Marinade image

This has become a quick and easy favorite that we frequently make on the grill. Despite the ease of prep, it is bursting with flavor. It is from the Black Dog Tavern's Summer on the Vineyard Cookbook.

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 1h15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 -2 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
1 garlic clove, minced (I use more)
1 lime, zest of
2 -3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Mix together the marinade ingredients in a deep bowl. Add the chicken breasts and turn to coat completely. Cover the bowl and refrigerate.
  • Marinade for about 1 hour. You can leave the chicken in the marinade longer, but because the mixture is very acidic, the chicken will begin to appear poached.
  • Preheat your grill. Cook the chicken over medium hot coals for about 3-5 mins per side.
  • Serve and enjoy.
