I found this recipe on the 17 Day Diet message boards. It's a really good chicken marinade. The chicken came out juicy and moist. And, it was the first time I used the outdoor grill all by myself! It was so easy, I think I'll do it again. I made homemade salsa and guacamole to go with it. Yummy!
Cilantro Lime Chicken
Ingredients:
4-6 boneless, skinless chicken breast portions
1/2 Cup fresh cilantro leaves
1/4 Cup fresh parsley leaves (flat leaf)
1 or 2 whole fresh basil leaves
3 cloves of garlic
1 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
2 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Juice of 3 limes
In the bowl of a food processor combine the cilantro, parsley, basil, garlic, onion powder, cayenne pepper and olive oil. Process by pulsing until everything is roughly the same size in the bowl. Add the lime juice and pulse 2 or 3 times to combine. Cover the chicken with the mixture in a storage bag or bowl with a lid and allow to marinate about an hour (longer = more flavor).
Grill or broil and enjoy!
