Ingredients
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- Juice of 2 limes
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 boneless chicken thighs
Instructions
- Combine the chopped cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Whisk until well blended.
- Place the chicken thighs in a resealable bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
- Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting the excess drip off. Grill the chicken thighs for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
- Slice or serve the chicken whole. Enjoy with rice, in tacos, in salads, or on its own.
Notes
Allowing the chicken to marinate for longer will enhance the flavor. Monitor cooking temperature to avoid drying out the chicken.
