Cilantro Lime Marinated Chicken Thighs

Sometimes I think there are two kinds of people in this world, those who don't care for cilantro, and those who LOVE cilantro.  I am the later of the two. :-) For me salsa is just not salsa and guacamole unless there is that fresh kick of cilantro.  :-)  So here is a recipe in homage to one of my favorite fresh herbs, and because it was hella on sale at Hen House last week, and I needed to find ways to use it up. ;-) 

Cilantro Lime Marinated Chicken Thighs

 

6-8 boneless skinless chicken thighs

1 cup of fresh cilantro
1 lime
1/2 cup of olive oil
2-4 cloves of garlic (me - I add 4 - but I LOVE garlic too)
salt and pepper to taste

Add all your marinade ingredients into a food processor. Blend until smooth, and pour over your chicken thighs in either a bag or baking dish.  Cover an refrigerate at least 2 hours, or overnight.  When you are ready to grill, heat your grill pan on medium high heat, and spray with some olive oil.  Grill chicken on each side, about 5-8 min. or until done and the juices run clear.

This recipe is great on it's own, with a side veggie, with guacamole on top, or chop it up and add it to a bored salad to mix it up!
