Grilled Cilantro Lime Chicken

Cilantro is one of my favorite fresh herbs of summer. It comes in our CSA share, but I had to plant some in our garden this year as well because I simply cannot get enough! Although my cilantro took off, I can’t seem to keep up with the four plants I planted along with our CSA two bunches. Can we say a little overzealous with the cilantro?

I came across this recipe in a magazine ad a few years ago and decided to adapt it to our family taste. It goes just perfectly with our family Salsa Verde! It’s great on the grill or the stovetop, whatever you choose you will not be disappointed.
