Introduction
I Love Cilantro and when I went looking for a new recipe on Spark, they had more ingredients then needed. Nice, low fat meal with no extras.

Ingredients
-
2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (2 lb. total)
1/8 cup lemon/lime juice
1/4 cup fresh cilantro , chopped
3 garlic cloves , chopped
1/2 tablespoon honey
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
Tips
Don't forget to pound the chicken flat! It provides more even grilling space for even cooking and it lets you look like your getting a feast!
Directions
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness (about 1/2 in.) and place in a shallow baking pan.
In a small bowl, mix lime juice, cilantro, garlic, honey, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Pour over chicken and turn pieces to coat evenly. Cover and chill at least 30 minutes or overnight.
Lay chicken on a grill over medium heat (you can hold you hand over the surface only 4 to 5 seconds) and cook, turning once, until no longer pink in the center, 4 to 6 minutes per side.
