Cilantro Lime Chicken

Is it just me, or is cilantro lime one of the best flavor combinations ever? It’s definitely one of my favorite flavors combos, and it shows up a lot on this site (my newest obsession is this cilantro garlic sauce with lime juice – SO good).

So, it just seemed like it was time to add a cilantro lime chicken recipe to the mix. I love the earthiness from the cumin, and the bit of heat from the chili, but you could keep it super simple and omit those if you want.

I’ve partnered up with BUBBL’R to bring you this delicious, healthy, naturally low carb recipe. The bright cilantro lime flavors pair perfectly with their lemon lime twist’r. Their drinks are so refreshing and energizing, and I love having one in the afternoon when I prep dinner.You can find out where to buy BUBBL’R here.

How To Make It?

Start by washing and drying the boneless chicken thighs, and setting that to the side for a minute.

Make the cilantro lime chicken marinade by pulsing the ingredients together in a food processor.

Brush the marinade over the chicken, and allow the chicken to marinate for 30 minutes.

Saute the chicken on both sides, then finish by baking it in the oven.

Can I Use Chicken Breasts?

Definitely! Boneless skinless chicken breasts are a great option for this recipe. I’d recommend pounding them to an even thickness before marinating them though. That will help the meat be more evenly seasoned and will help the chicken cook faster.

What Goes With It?

I’m super partial to pretty anything with a cilantro lime flavor. So, I actually love having this with Instant Pot Cilantro Lime Rice and with our super popular Cilantro Lime Sauce.

It’s also great served next to some black beans, refried beans, yellow rice, or Spanish rice.

If you’re craving tacos, I highly recommend heating up some corn tortillas and serving this chicken with some delicious Quick Pickled Onions.
