PERFECT CILANTRO LIME CHICKEN THIGHS

INGREDIENTS:

• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
• 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
• 1 tablespoon lime zest
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs

DIRECTIONS:

1. In a medium bowl, combine cilantro, 2 tablespoons olive oil, lime juice, lime zest, chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper.
2. In a gallon size Ziploc bag or large bowl, combine chicken and cilantro mixture; marinate for at least 2 hours to overnight, turning the bag occasionally. Drain the chicken from the marinade.
3. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a cast iron grill pan over medium-high heat.* Working in batches, add chicken to the grill pan in a single layer and cook until golden brown and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 4-5 minutes per side.
4. Serve immediately.
