This easy Cilantro Lime Chicken recipe is quick to make and has tons of flavor. Perfect chicken marinade for grilling, baking, or sautéing and freezes well, too.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken breasts, freshly squeezed lime juice, ground cumin, sea salt, ground black pepper, cayenne, and fresh cilantro.
Toss to combine and coat the chicken well.
Cover with plastic wrap (or close Ziplock bag tightly) and place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2-3 hours, to allow the marinade to work.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with the olive oil.
Remove the chicken from the fridge and place in the hot oil.
Cook the chicken until well-browned on both sides and cooked through, about 4-6 minutes per side, or until the chicken reaches 165 degrees F internal temperature.
Allow to rest for 5 minute before slicing and serving.

Gooey cook trap House on 2021-11-01 (5 stars): My best advice to you, Get a pan with a little bit of oil & Cook chicken then top it with lid let it sit for about 10 mins I tell you not comes it juicy!!! Through cooked well.
Dawn Howard on 2019-04-16 (5 stars): I baked the chicken in an air fryer! Came out perfect! 390* for 20 min on roast setting
Rachael on 2019-04-15 (5 stars): To answer your question, I did this in the crock pot tonight and it was awesome!! I added a couple cloves of garlic. Other than that didn’t change the recipe just dumped it all in the crock pot.
