PRINTABLE RECIPE:
Full Recipe ????????????
INGREDIENTS
2 Tbsp olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp salt
freshly cracked pepper
2 limes, divided
1/2 bunch cilantro, divided
6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (1.5 to 1.75 lbs. total)
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Combine the olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, salt, and some freshly cracked pepper (about 10 cranks of a pepper mill) in a small bowl.
2. Zest one of the limes and then squeeze the juice. You'll need 2-3 Tbsp juice, so if needed, juice half of the second lime. Cut the remaining lime into wedges to garnish the chicken once cooked. Roughly chop the cilantro.
3. Add 1 tsp of the lime zest, 2-3 Tbsp of the lime juice, and half of the chopped cilantro to the marinade. Stir to combine. (The remaining cilantro will be added fresh after cooking the chicken.)
4. Place the chicken thighs in a shallow dish or a large zip top bag. Add the marinade and toss the chicken to coat. Allow the chicken to marinate for 30 minutes or up to 8 hours (refrigerated), turning it once or twice as it marinates.
5. When ready to cook the chicken, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until well browned and cooked through. My chicken had enough of an oil coating from the marinade that I did not need to add any extra to the skillet.
6. Top the cooked chicken with more fresh cilantro and a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Serve with any extra lime wedges.

Cilantro lime chicken ingredients:
Cilantro lime marinade
• 1 chicken breast
• Salt to taste
• 1 tsp black pepper powder
• 1 tsp cumin powder
• 1 tsp brown sugar
• 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
• 2 tsp garlic (finely chopped)
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 2 tbsp cilantro (coriander leaves)
• 1 tsp lemon zest
To pan-fry cilantro lime chicken
• 2 tbsp oil
To make lemon chicken
Step by step instructions to make cilantro lime chicken
1. Flatten the chicken breast by patting it gently with a rolling pin.
2. Marinate it with cilantro lime marinade. Set it aside for a minimum of 2 hours in the refrigerator.
3. Pan-fry the marinated chicken until golden on both sides. Set it aside.
4. Cilantro lime chicken is ready to serve.
Cooking tips:
1. Marinate for at least 2 hours to get the soft and juicy lime cilantro chicken.
2. The lime-cilantro marinade sticks to the bottom of the pan. So, while pan-frying it, add 2 tbsp water at regular intervals to prevent the chicken from sticking to the pan.
3. Once ready, let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before slicing it.
