3:45 a.m. and couldn't sleep, I came up with 3 dishes, this is the main dish of the meal quite tasty!
- 1 lb Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast *
- 1 bunch Fresh Cilantro
- 3 Cloves Garlic
- 1 Lemon
- 1/2 C Olive Oil (Regular or Extra Virgin)
- 1 tsp Red Chili Flakes
- Salt & Pepper to taste
1) Clean/prep chicken for marinade, place in a large ziploc bag.
2) Mince garlic and about half of the bunch of cilantro and place in a bowl.
3) Zest and juice the lemon into the bowl, add the chili flakes and salt/pepper.
4) Stir the mixture then add it to the chicken, close the bag, then massage the mixture into the chicken (until all the chicken is coated). Place the chicken in the refrigerator for about an hour, massage the chicken again then return to the refrigerator for another hour or so. ( The longer you marinate the chicken the more flavor you will get ).
5) Grill chicken for about 10-15 minutes ( depending on thickness ) or until done. Chicken should not be pink inside. **
* For this dish I used thin cut boneless skinless thin cut breast fillets ( you can substitute your favorite type of chicken ).
** Chicken can be done in a pan instead of on the grill.
