Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • Chef's Knife
  • Small Bowl
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Tongs
  • Meat Thermometer

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb CHICKEN BREASTS
  • 2 tbsp LIME JUICE
  • 1/4 cup CILANTRO
  • 2 cloves GARLIC
  • 1 tsp CUMIN
  • 2 tbsp OLIVE OIL
  • 1/2 tsp SALT
  • 1/4 tsp BLACK PEPPER

Instructions
 

Step 1:

  • Wash and dry your chicken breasts very well. Use a paper towel to pat them dry. This helps the seasoning stick to the meat.

Step 2:

  • Season both sides with salt and black pepper. Do this evenly across the whole surface. Press the spices into the meat gently.

Step 3:

  • Whisk the lime juice and olive oil together. Do this in a small mixing bowl. Make sure they are combined very well.

Step 4:

  • Add the chopped cilantro and minced garlic now. Stir in the cumin and other dry spices. This creates a very thick and tasty marinade.

Step 5:

  • Pour the mix over the chicken pieces carefully. Ensure every part of the meat is covered. Let it sit for ten minutes at least.

Step 6:

  • Heat your large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a small splash of olive oil. Wait for the oil to shimmer slightly.

Step 7:

  • Place the chicken in the hot pan carefully. Do not crowd the pan too much. Cook for six minutes on the first side.

Step 8:

  • Flip the chicken using your kitchen tongs. The bottom should be a nice golden brown. Cook for another six minutes on this side.

Step 9:

  • Check the internal temperature with your meat thermometer. It must reach 165 degrees for safety. Remove the chicken from the hot skillet.

Step 10:

  • Let the meat rest on a cutting board. Wait for five minutes before you slice it. This keeps all the juices inside the chicken.

Notes

  • Use fresh lime juice for the best taste.
  • Do not crowd the pan while cooking chicken.
  • Marinate for thirty minutes for a deeper flavor.
  • Use a thermometer to keep the meat juicy.
  • Chop the cilantro very finely for better coverage.
  • Keep the heat at medium for even cooking.
