Cilantro is one of those tastes that people either love
or hate. Whatever your opinion, it has become widely
used in recent years, particularly in Mediterranean and
Mexican cooking.
Ingredients:
4
Tyson® Fresh Split Chicken Breasts
with Ribs
1 tablespoon garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoons lime peel, grated
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped; plus 8 sprigs
1/4 cup butter, melted
or 1/4 cup margarine, melted
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons lime juice
Directions:
1. Preheat
grill to medium. Combine garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and
1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small dish; mash into a paste
using back side of a large spoon. Add lime peel.
2. Wash hands. Loosen skin of chicken by slipping your
hand between the meat and skin. Spread a quarter of the
garlic mixture and tuck 2 cilantro sprigs under the skin
of each breast. Wash hands.
3. Combine chopped cilantro, butter, oil and lime juice
in a small bowl. Brush chicken skin lightly with
mixture. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and
1/4 teaspoon pepper.
4. Place chicken on grill, skin side down. Brush with
cilantro-butter mixture. Cover and grill 15 minutes.
Turn chicken; brush with half of remaining cilantro
butter. Cover and grill 10 minutes. Without turning,
brush chicken with remaining cilantro butter. Cover and
grill 5 minutes or until done (internal temp 180°F).
Serving Suggestion: Serve with Spanish rice and
chilled fresh fruit. Refrigerate leftovers.
