Happy Grilling Season!
My go-to recipe for grilling chicken comes from one of my moms -- so super easy -- Seven Seas Italian Dressing used as a marinade -- bing, bang, boom, DONE! Since we have that virtually once a week, I wanted to try something different because I don't want to overdo my go-to chicken so much that I don't want it that way. I looked in the fridge and saw some cilantro that was within a day or two of being limp and ready for the trash. Tonight was a use it or lose it kind of night for one of my favorite herbs. I went with using it -- I had saved this recipe off of Pinterest. It was pretty easy to make, other than my mental moron moment of not being able to get the mini Cuisinart to work (Jimmy came and saved the day... derrrrr!). So, for a fast, flavorful grilled chicken, my other half has given this a THUMBS UP and the vote to do it again!
- 2 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
- ½ cup cilantro
- 2 Tbsp. reduced sodium soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp. toasted sesame oil
- 2-4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- Place all the ingredients above in a food processor and process until smooth
- Pour marinade over chicken breast and let flavors sink in for 15 minutes in the refrigerator
- Prepare your grill or broiler. Cook until temperature registers 165F on the meat thermometer.
- Let the chicken breasts rest for 5 minutes before serving, this prevents the meat from drying up.
