Yield 6 people

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 chicken breast halves
1/2 cup fresh lime juice, about 4 to 5 limes
1/3 cup olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon hot paprika
1 teaspoon dried chile powder
2 teaspoons kosher salt
3 tablespoons chopped cilantro, plus additional sprigs for garnish

Steps:

  • Place the chicken in a 9-x-13-inch pan. In a medium bowl, combine the remaining ingredients, except the garnish. Pour over the chicken and marinate for 1 hour or, ideally, overnight in the refrigerator. Take the chicken out of the refrigerator an hour before cooking. Heat the grill to medium high. Grill chicken about 10 to 12 minutes per side, turning often to avoid burning. Remove and serve on a platter with cilantro sprigs.
