Instructions
- Cover the chicken breasts with a layer of plastic wrap, then pound the thicker end of the chicken breasts to an even thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
- Create the marinade by mixing lime juice, lime zest, olive oil, half of the chopped cilantro, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper in a container or resealable bag.
- Coat the chicken breasts on all sides in the marinade. Store in the refrigerator and allow to marinate for at least 1 hour or ideally overnight.
- Prepare the grill or grill pan by lightly oiling it and preheating to medium-high heat.
- Grill the chicken for approximately 5 minutes on each side, or until it is well-charred and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Let the chicken rest on a platter or chopping board for 5 minutes, then squeeze fresh lime juice over it and garnish with the remaining cilantro.
