Cilantro Lime Chicken
Written by Rocky Mountain Woman on July 13, 2012 – 5:56 am -
On the grill!
Ingredient List:
chicken thighs
butter lettuce
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup olive oil
two small limes or one large one
1/2 bunch of cilantro
jalapeno
salt
vinegar
Start by mixing the oil
juice from both limes, zest from one small lime or 1/2 of a large one, the cilantro (about 1/2 cup, packed) and jalapeno in a blender, salt to taste
pour some of it over the chicken (reserve the rest as a dressing)
Marinate for at least an hour and up to three hours, remove from marinade and grill until cooked through and juices run clear, about 30 minutes to as much as an hour, depending on how large the chicken pieces are and how hot your grill is.
dilute the reserved marinade with a little vinegar and drizzle over the chicken and butter lettuce
Wonderful with a glass of Sancerre..
xxoo,

What a beautiful dish. The chicken would be full of wonderful flavours and cooking it on a BBQ or grill is a great way to go. And thanks for your comment on my blog. I did reply. I’m so sorry to hear of that horrific crime. There are just no words for an act like that xx

I’m having a little trouble reading this. Oh wait. That’s better. I guess licking the screen is never a good thing.
This. Looks. Divine!
I’m going to make this over the weekend. Your recipes are always spot on.
