Cilantro Recipes

Thanks to Dana for this awesome recipe! I didn't have frozen OJ and just used regular already made OJ and it still turned out great.

Lime-Cilantro Marinated Chicken

1 cup finely chopped red onion
1 cup lime juice
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 cup veg. oil
1/4 frozen concentrate OJ, thawed
1 3/4 teaspoons garlic salt
1 1/2 teaspoon seasoned pepper (I used fresh ground pepper)
1 teaspoon fresh mint
4 boneless, skineless chicken breasts

In large resealable plastic food storage bag, combine all ingredients, except chicken, mix well. Remove 1 cup marinade for basting. Add chicken, seal bag and cover chicken well. Keep in fridge for at least 45 min.

Grill or broil chicken 10-15 min. or until no longer pink in center and juices run clear when cut, turning once and basting often with additional 1 cup marinade. Do not baste during last 5 min. of cooking. Discard remaining marinade.

Serving Suggestion: Serve with warm tortillas or rice

Cook rice as usual, with 1 tsp. salt per cup of rice.

For each cup of rice:

2/3 cup cilantro, loosely packed
1/3 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup chopped scalions
1 jalapeno (or to taste)
1 tbsp lime juice

Puree the above in a blender, add to the cooked rice, stir well.
