Cilantro Chicken

Cilantro isn't something I normally cook with, but I had some in the fridge because of THIS

Our original recipe for mussels in Mexican beer called for cilantro. Well, since we didn't end up making that one, I had cilantro and beer that needed to be used. This dish was so flavorful and delicious. It was great!



Ingredients:

• chicken trimmed and cut into cubes
• 1 handful of cilantro, chopped
• jalapenos, I used sliced jalepeno rings
• 1/2 of an onion, chopped into large pieces
• 3 cloves garlic, chopped
• Cumin, chili powder, and salt
• 1/2 cup Mexican beer (again, I had Negro Modelo left over from my failed mussels attempt)
• 2 TBSP lime juice

Directions:

• Mix cubed chicken with the cilantro, spices, and beer. Set in the fridge for about an hour to marinate the flavors
• Make a foil packet and mix the marinated chicken with the peppers, onion, garlic, lime juice, and a splash more beer
• Wrap it up and cook it on the grill for about 25 minutes or so.

The chicken was moist, the flavors were bold, and it was SO GOOD. Definitely a must try if you enjoy cilantro.
