Cilantro Chicken

Wanted to share a really delicious recipe we tried over the weekend. Loved the marinade!  I served with twice baked potatoes and a green salad, but rice would be great with this too.


Cilantro Chicken



Ingredients

2 or so lbs boneless/skinless chicken breasts
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup minced garlic
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro (a big handful, just cut stems off)
3/4 to 1 cup sweet chili sauce


Directions
Place chicken in a large zip baggie.

Place olive oil, garlic and cilantro in a blender or food processor. Process until the mixture is combined and smooth. Scoop the marinade into the bag with the chicken, press the air out of the bag and zip it closed. Knead the marinade into the chicken until it is evenly distributed. Marinate overnight or all day long.

Preheat the grill to medium heat and coat with oil or grill spray. Remove chicken from the bag and grill 4 to 5 minutes on the first side, until good grill marks are showing. Flip and grill an additional 3 to 4 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.

Remove chicken to a platter and brush the sweet chili sauce on top.
