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.

6 EASY CHICKEN MARINADES | amazing chicken breast recipe + freezer friendly meal prep
Using a chicken marinade is one of the best ways to give your chicken breast recipe some big flavor and maximum juiciness. From a bright Greek lemon marinade, to punchy honey mustard, and everything in between - here's everything you need to know about making (and using) the best chicken marinades!
While I'm all for dry rubs for a savory top coat, chicken marinades have their own benefits. They're great for locking in your favorite flavors, tenderizing the meat, and keeping it ultra juicy as it cooks. That's especially important for when you're cooking up chicken breasts - because we all know how easily they can dry out.
In addition to chicken breasts, these marinades can be used for chicken thighs (my favorite), or even chicken drumsticks, depending on what type of meal prep you've got going for the week. So if you need some fresh dinner ideas (aka chicken recipes for dinner), watch the video and head to the blog post below for more sides and pairing options.

If there is one chicken recipe I could live off of, it's this Greek lemon chicken. I'm a sucker for skin-on chicken thighs given how naturally juicy and flavorful they are.

Instructions
How to make cilantro lime chicken
Place the chicken thighs in a bowl and add salt, black pepper, red chili flakes, lime zest, olive oil, lime juice, chopped cilantro (parsley) and mix to combine. Cover the chicken with cling film and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Leave the chicken out of the fridge if you would only be marinating for 30 minutes as it is important to cook the meat at room temperature. The chicken cooks evenly this way. If you would be marinating for longer, place the chicken in the fridge and bring it out of the oven 30 minutes before cooking it so it comes to room temperature.
Place a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil then heat until hot. Remove the chicken from the marinate shaking off any excess moisture off it and carefully add to the hot skillet. Watch out for splashes, be careful so you don’t hurt yourself
Sear the chicken on each side for at least 4 minutes each, until browned. Add ½ cup of water or broth to deglaze and pan, squeeze the juice of half a lime on top of the chicken and continue to cook the chicken for additional 2 minutes, flip it so the other side of the chicken is coated with the pan juice too.
Not sure your chicken is cooked? Insert a meat thermometer to the thickest part of the chicken and the internal temperature should read 165F/ 73C. Take it off the heat and serve with more chopped onions and lime wedges.
