This Grilled Chicken With Cilantro Marinade has become a quick and easy favorite that I frequently make on the grill. Despite the ease of prep, it is bursting with flavor.
The chicken comes out so tender, moist and flavorful — which is really saying something for boneless and skinless chicken breasts.

Grilled Chicken With Cilantro Marinade
Ingredients
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
For the Cilantro Marinade
1 -2 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
1 garlic clove, minced (I use more)
1 lime, zest of
2 -3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1⁄4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Mix together the marinade ingredients in a deep bowl. Add the chicken breasts and turn to coat completely. Cover the bowl and refrigerate.
Marinade for about 1 hour. You can leave the chicken in the marinade longer, but because the mixture is very acidic, the chicken will begin to appear poached.
Preheat your grill. Cook the chicken over medium hot coals for about 3-5 minutes per side.
Serve and enjoy.
