Grilled Chicken With Cilantro Marinade

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts

For the Cilantro Marinade
1 -2 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
1 garlic clove, minced (I use more)
1 lime, zest of
2 -3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Mix together the marinade ingredients in a deep bowl. Add the chicken breasts and turn to coat completely. Cover the bowl and refrigerate.

Marinade for about 1 hour. You can leave the chicken in the marinade longer, but because the mixture is very acidic, the chicken will begin to appear poached.

Preheat your grill. Cook the chicken over medium hot coals for about 3-5 mins per side.

Serve and enjoy.
