Cilantro Lime Chicken Recipe

Step 1

If using oven, preheat to 375 degrees.

Step 2

Add chicken to a zip top freezer bag or large baking dish.

Step 3

Whisk together 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro, 2 tablespoons lime zest, 1/4 cup lime juice, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, Stone House Seasoning, and olive oil. Pour over the chicken. Remove as much air as possible as you seal the bag and place on a baking sheet to catch any drips; or if using a baking dish to marinate, cover with wrap. Store the marinade-covered chicken in the refrigerator for at least an hour, but no more than 24 hours to marinate.

Step 4

To cook, preheat grill or grill pan to medium heat. Brush with olive oil. Remove the chicken from the marinade, discarding the marinade, and place onto the grill or grill pan. Cook for 3 minutes on one side and then turn and cook 3 additional minutes, turning the chicken to grill if necessary until it's done. Don't crowd the chicken in the grill pan as want it to cook quickly and not be so much that it steams. If using oven, place baking dish with chicken (having discarded the marinade) and cook at 375 degrees about 20 minutes or until done.Cook until the chicken reaches 165º F when checked with an internal meat thermometer.

Step 5

Transfer the chicken to a platter and top with 1 tablespoon more of lime juice and remaining chopped cilantro. Serve.
