Cilantro Chicken is a really quick and easy dinner recipe! Skillet chicken with creamy cilantro lime sauce. Absolutely delicious!
This recipe reminds me a lot of my homemade chicken Verde, but without the three-hour preparation and cook time!
A genuinely fantastic recipe, I will add to my cookbook and make again and again. Try it! It will become a quick favorite!
