Cilantro Lime Chicken

Ingredients:

4 boneless chicken breast, butterflied

1 cup of cilantro

3 cloves of garlic

1 jalapeno

1 small white onion

Juice of 2 limes

1½ cups of canola oil

Salt

Directions:

1. Roughly chop the cilantro, garlic, jalapeno and onion, transfer to blender, add lime juice, cumin, 2 tsps. of salt and canola oil, blend until smooth. Taste for salt. Lay the chicken in a 9x13 glass baking dish and pour the marinade all over the chicken to coat evenly. Cover the chicken and marinate for at least 1 hour. I don't like to marinate it for more than a few hours.

2. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and when ready, lay the marinated chicken pieces in a lined, shallow baking pan. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, depending on how thick your chicken breast are. Transfer the leftover marinade and transfer to a small pot and cook on low for 20 or more minutes.

3. This chicken can simply be served as is, with rice, a salad as a filling for tacos or burritos... I like to take the extra marinade that you cooked and use it as a sauce over chicken.

4. Garnish chicken with caramelized onions, cilantro and lime wedges.
