Ingredients

Scale

Marinade:

  • 4 Tbsp olive oil
  • 4 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1/4 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp sweet paprika
  • 1/8 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 Tbsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper

Fresh Herbs:

  • 1/2 bunch fresh parsley
  • 1/2 bunch fresh cilantro

Chicken:

  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: Combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, coriander, cumin, paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper in a food processor. Pulse 5-7 times until the garlic is minced and the ingredients are well blended.
  2. Incorporate Fresh Herbs: Add parsley and cilantro to the food processor. Pulse a few more times until the herbs are chopped but not pureed, maintaining a textured appearance.
  3. Prepare the Chicken: Slice each chicken breast in half lengthwise to create 8 thinner pieces. Place the chicken in a large resealable plastic bag or a bowl.
  4. Marinate the Chicken: Pour the marinade over the chicken. Toss or massage the bag to ensure the chicken is evenly coated. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for deeper flavor.
  5. Grill the Chicken: Preheat your grill to medium heat. Cook the chicken until it is fully cooked through, about 4-6 minutes per side depending on thickness. Serve hot.
