Grilled Cilantro Lime Chicken
This is my go-to cilantro chicken recipe for the grill in the summer. The longer it marinates, the stronger the flavor.
Ingredients
Directions
-
Mix lime zest, lime juice, green onions, olive oil, cilantro, seasoning blend, garlic, coriander, red pepper flakes, cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper in a bowl.

Place chicken in a resealable plastic bag or a bowl with a lid. Pour the marinade over the chicken and cover evenly. Seal the bag or cover the bowl.
-
Place in the refrigerator and marinate for 4 to 6 hours.
-
Remove chicken from the refrigerator and allow to come to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
-
Remove chicken from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
-
Cook chicken on the preheated grill, turning occasionally, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 20 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Cook's Note:
You may use 3 small limes in place of 2 large limes.
