Quick And Easy Cilantro Lime Marinade Recipes

CILANTRO LIME CHICKEN MARINADE

Steps:

• Place the chicken breasts in a large ziplock bag. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, cilantro, salt, garlic and pepper.
• Pour the marinade over the chicken and seal the bag, squeezing out all the air.
• Move the chicken around in the marinade until it is all evenly coated.
• Refrigerate and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours (see note).
• You can freeze the chicken in the marinade immediately and let it marinate as it defrosts, or marinate and cook it immediately.
• Either grill the chicken for 6-8 per side, pan fry for 6-8 minutes per side over medium heat, or bake at 375 degrees F for 20-30 minutes, or until an internal temperature of 165 degrees F has been reached.
• Let the chicken rest, tented with foil, for 5 minutes before serving.

QUICK AND EASY CILANTRO LIME MARINADE

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients in a food processor for less than one minute or until the texture is nice and chunky. Be sure the garlic is fully processed. If you don't have a food processor you can make the marinade by dicing the cilantro, jalapenos and garlic very lightly and then mix the ingredients in a bowl with a fork.
• For a less spicy version, remove the inside of the jalapeno and wash it under cold water and be sure not to get any of it in your eyes. Store the marinade in the fridge for up to one week.
