Ingredients
4 chicken breasts1/4 cup lime juice (I used the pre-bottled)1/2 cup cilantro, chopped6 cloves garlic, chopped1 tbsp agave nectar (or honey)1 tbsp olive oil1/2 tsp salt1/4 tsp pepperPrep time only takes 15 minutes but marinating should be anywhere from 30 minutes to overnight.
Pound thick side of chicken to even out slightly, do not pound thin.
Lightly poke chicken a few times with the knife to ensure marinade soaks in.
Place chicken breasts in large ziplock bag.
Mix rest of ingredients in a bowl then pour into bag. Mix well then place in fridge for at least 30 minutes to overnight.
When ready to cook, allow most of marinade to drip off chicken then place on grill or on grill pan under broiler.
Grill or broil chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side until just cooked and no longer pink.
Enjoy!!
