Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

¼ cup fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 lime, zested
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
½ teaspoon ground cumin
4 medium skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

This chicken is amazing! I've made it several times now and it's always a hit. The marinade is so flavorful and the chicken is always cooked perfectly. I usually serve it with rice and beans, but it would also be great with pasta or potatoes.
