Cilantro Lime Chicken
Cilantro Lime Chicken – juicy, moist chicken marinated with cilantro, lime and garlic. You can pan-fry, bake or grill the chicken with this easy recipe.
It’s been raining and wet here in Southern California and I am feeling winter blues. Food is a surefire way to make me happy during wintertime and this zesty, moist, juicy and out-of-the-world cilantro lime chicken sure did. Just look at the pictures, don’t you just feel happy (and hungry!) at the very sight of the chicken?
This Mexican-inspired recipe couldn’t be any easier as simple ingredients are all you need. Aromatic cilantro, fresh lime, garlic, chili flakes are the main ingredients that bring out the explosive flavors of the chicken. The secret is to use lots of cilantro stems and some cilantro leaves.
Again, I used skin-on chicken thighs but deboned. You can use skinless and boneless chicken breast or chicken thighs if you prefer. Marinate the chicken for 15 minutes, then pan-fry it for a few minutes before baking it for 20 minutes. Dinner is ready before you know it, and everyone will be happier after feasting on this chicken.

I followed a link from a list of clean eating recipes on another website and found this recipe. It is *almost* ideal for anyone following a clean eating program, though some would argue the skin should be removed if eating clean (yet that could be debated), and doing that would definitely produce a different result, so I would be reluctant to remove it. Apart from that, just swap the salt out for sea salt or Himalayan salt, and you’ve got a yummy, “clean” recipe. I shall be trying shortly! Thanks – many of your other recipes look delightful as well :)
