Happy Father's Day!

LIME CILANTRO CHICKEN MARINADE

1/2 cup olive oil
Juice of 3 limes
1-2 tsp minced garlic
1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp sea salt
1 tsp freshly ground pepper

Whisk together all ingredients, dump into ziploc bag with your chicken breasts.  Marinate 1-3 hours.  The exterior of the chicken might begin to turn white as the lime juice is a cooking agent.  Discard marinade upon grilling.

GRILLING INSTRUCTIONS:
Heat up grill to 450 degrees.  Grill each side of chicken breasts, about 5-8 minutes on each side depending on thickness.

OVEN INSTRUCTIONS:
Heat oven to 400 degrees.  Place breasts evenly in pyrex or metal baking pan, not overlapping.  Bake for 25-40 minutes, depending on thickness of the breasts.
