This easy Cilantro Lime Chicken recipe is quick to make and has tons of flavor. Perfect chicken marinade for grilling, baking, or sautéing and freezes well, too.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken breasts, freshly squeezed lime juice, ground cumin, sea salt, ground black pepper, cayenne, and fresh cilantro.
Toss to combine and coat the chicken well.
Cover with plastic wrap (or close Ziplock bag tightly) and place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2-3 hours, to allow the marinade to work.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with the olive oil.
Remove the chicken from the fridge and place in the hot oil.
Cook the chicken until well-browned on both sides and cooked through, about 4-6 minutes per side, or until the chicken reaches 165 degrees F internal temperature.
Allow to rest for 5 minute before slicing and serving.
Notes
If you happen to not care for cilantro, you could easily replace with italian parsley.Prep time includes time for marinating.
