Description

Chicken thighs are marinated in olive oil, lime juice, and cilantro and quickly grilled to perfection in this easy weeknight recipe.

Ingredients

1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
lime wedges for garnish

Directions

1 Whisk cilantro, oil, lime juice, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl. Add thighs and stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
2 Preheat an outdoor grill over medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
3 Cook thighs for 6 minutes. Flip and cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 6 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Serve with lime wedges if desired.
