Instructions:
- In a bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, dried cilantro, salt, and pepper to make the marinade.
- Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure it's evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade.
- Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is cooked through.
- Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- Serve the Cilantro Lime Grilled Chicken with lime wedges and garnish with fresh cilantro leaves if desired.
Tips:
- You can use boneless chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts for a juicier option.
- Serve the grilled chicken over a bed of rice or in tortillas for tacos.
