Cilantro Lime Chicken and Dressing


Cilantro lime chicken, when added to a salad makes a great summertime meal.  After the meat marinates it only takes about 10 minutes of cook time so it doesn’t heat up the kitchen.  You could also grill the chicken outside or use a cuisinart griddler.  I use dried cilantro in my recipe because it is too hot in my area to grow this herb right now! Did you know that fresh cilantro is known to be a natural cleansing agent, cleansing toxic metals from your body?  To read about more health benefits of this herb, check out Medical News Today.

Lemon Herb Chicken

Lemon Herb Chicken uses fresh rosemary and thyme to provide a moist and flavorful dish. I love growing herbs that I can use to give recipes fresh flavor.  Fresh herbs can usually be purchased in the produce section of your grocery store. Although if you’ve never tried growing herbs before, here is a great selection of seeds to get you started! Herbs are really easy to grow! Garlic is something else I grow in my garden which adds great flavor to many dishes. Now all I need is a lemon tree and I’ll be set for this recipe! I hope you enjoy this (mostly healthy) chicken!
