Tivoli'S Cilantro Grilled Chicken Breast - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
8 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
2 cups olive oil
6 tablespoons lemon juice, juice from about 2 lemons
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon shallot, chopped
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup salsa, your favorite
Preparation
-
Put chicken in a glass dish large enough to hold the chicken pieces in a single layer.
Combine oil, lemon juice, cilantro, salt, cumin, shallots, pepper, cayenne and garlic.
Pour mixture over the chicken and turn pieces to coat.
Refrigerate, covered, at least 2 hours, turning chicken occasionally.
Remove chicken from the marinade, reserving marinade.
Boil marinade and then leave at a simmer for use as a baste.
Place chicken on oiled rack of gas grill over medium-high heat or on charcoal grill 4-6 inches from medium-hot coals.
Cook, turning once and basting often with the heated marinade, 10-12 minutes, or until chicken is firm, opaque, and light golden brown.
Discard remaining marinade.
Put 2 tablespoons of salsa on each serving plate and put 1 piece of chicken on top of the salsa and serve immediately.
