Instructions
Preparing Flavor-Packed Juicy Grilled Salsa Verde Chicken is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare Marinade: In a bowl, mix the salsa verde, olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
2. Marinate Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable bag or dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours (overnight if possible).
3. Preheat Grill: About 15 minutes before cooking, preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
4. Grill Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off excess. Place on the grill and cook for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
5. Serve and Garnish: Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro before slicing and serving.
