Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 pound (2 large breasts) boneless skinless chicken breast, butterflied
2 tablespoons canola oil
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons Cilantro Herb Butter, recipe follows
Fresh parsley, optional, for garnish
Scampi Butter, recipe follows
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1/4 pound unsalted butter, softened
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons minced red onion
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley leaves
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Dash white pepper
Dash Worcestershire sauce
1 lemon, juiced
1 tablespoon white wine

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill or grill pan over high heat.
  • Lightly coat chicken with oil and sprinkle each evenly on both sides with the salt and pepper. Grill chicken breasts for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until thoroughly cooked; the meat should be solid white throughout and the internal temperature will read 165 degrees F. Remove from grill and immediately top with Cilantro Herb Butter. Garnish with parsley, if desired. Serve as butter is melting.
  • Follow the Scampi Butter recipe, but use only half of the garlic, and replace the parsley with 2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro.
  • In a bowl, whisk all ingredients until thoroughly combined. Refrigerate until ready to use. Use the Scampi "base" to make different flavored butters.

LIME CILANTRO SAUTEED CHICKEN BREAST



Lime Cilantro Sauteed Chicken Breast image

This was a big hit with my son and other family members. Also works very well on sauteed shrimp and fish and the frozen breaded Clam Strips. I throw frozen Chicken Breast in the frying pan on medium heat for this one. They turn out just as well as if thawed. This is a great pairing.

Categories     Poultry Appetizers

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 chicken breasts frozen or thawed
1/3 c lime fresh squeesed or real lime
1/4 c fresh cilantro sliced medium to fine
2 cloves gralic (optional)
1/4 stick butter for sauteeing and sauce
2 Tbsp olive oil for sauteeing and sauce
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Over medium heat place Chicken Breast un-thawed or thawed in frying pan to which you fave added a pat of butter and a teaspoon of olive oil. When first side has cooked somewhat, flip to other side. Continue flipping every 3 or 4 minutes. Cook 7 to 10 minutes.
  • 2. When breast appears 2/3 to 3/4 done add 1/4 stick butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the Lime Juice and Cilantro, to the pan. (Garlic is Optional)
  • 3. I test that they are cooked through by slicing a little and checking.
  • 4. Plate the Chicken Breasts and spoon on some of the sauce. Serve with rice, potatoes or your choice. Again -- This works very well for Shrimp, Fish, Breaded Clam sticks or other Sea Food. Margarita Anyone?
  • 5. Hint: I sometimes prepare the sauce separately by heating in the microwave. You'll need some salt to bring out the lime juice and cilantro. I add some sauce to pan and reserve some for plating. It's What's for Supper? Really.

JUICY GRILLED CHICKEN BREAST WITH CILANTRO AND LIME



Juicy Grilled Chicken Breast with Cilantro and Lime image

My husband was craving marinated grilled chicken, and since I was out of our normal marinade, I decided to make one of my own with the fresh herbs from my garden. It turned out to have a light, summery flavor and so juicy! Excellent when served with grilled corn on the cob!

⅔ cup olive oil
½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
2 limes, juiced
1 teaspoon garlic salt
½ teaspoon Cajun seasoning (such as Slap Ya Mama®)
2 large skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

Steps:

  • Combine olive oil, cilantro, parsley, lime juice, garlic salt, and Cajun seasoning in a large bowl. Add chicken breasts and toss to coat. Marinate in the refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

  • Grill chicken on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 10 to 15 minutes. Baste chicken with marinade as it cooks. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients: Before you start cooking, make sure all of your ingredients are prepped and ready to go. This will help you save time and avoid scrambling around in the kitchen.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your dish the best flavor. If possible, use fresh lime juice, cilantro, and chicken breasts.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're sautéing the chicken, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the chicken over medium-high heat: Medium-high heat will help the chicken cook quickly and evenly.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken is tough and dry. Cook the chicken until it is just cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
  • Season the chicken to taste: Once the chicken is cooked, season it to taste with salt, pepper, and additional lime juice, if desired.
  • Serve the chicken immediately: Sautéed chicken is best served immediately, while it is still hot and juicy.

Conclusion:

Lime Cilantro Sautéed Chicken Breast is a quick, easy, and flavorful dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The chicken is cooked in a delicious sauce made with lime juice, cilantro, and garlic, and it is served over rice or your favorite side dish. This dish is sure to please the whole family!
