A cilantro, cumin, and lime marinade lends flavor and zest to lean chicken breasts in this paleo-friendly dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup packed fresh cilantro
- ½ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup lime juice (from 2-3 limes)
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1 large tomato
Steps
- Add the chicken to a baking dish. In a blender, purée the cilantro, oil, lime juice, cumin, garlic, and ½ tsp salt until smooth. Reserve ⅓ cup of mixture. Pour remaining cilantro mixture over chicken, tossing to coat. Cover with plastic and refrigerate 1–2 hours.
