Instructions

  1. To make marinade, whisk together the salsa, lime juice, cilantro, taco seasoning, and vegetable oil.
  2. Poke chicken all over with a fork. Place the chicken in a dish or zip top bag and pour the marinade over the chicken to cover completely. Refrigerate for up to 4 hours, with a minimum of 30 minutes.
  3. Heat the grill to medium heat and brush with oil to prevent sticking. Place chicken on the grill and cook for 4-6 minutes per side, depending on thickness. Cook to an internal temperature of 165˚F.
  4. Once done, remove chicken from grill and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Then serve warm. Enjoy!
