Cilantro Lime Chicken

This recipe is very easy to make.  I made it with 1 chicken breast, 1/4 lime and the leaves from 3 cilantro stems.  You can easily multiply that for however many servings you want to make.  It's great over salad, in tortillas, with salsa, guacamole, rice, beans, etc. 

Ingredients:

Chicken Breast
Lime
Cilantro
Salt
oil for pan

Instructions:

Place chicken breast in a plastic freezer bag; pound out to desired thinness with meat mallet, the edge of a plate or whatever you can find. 

Cut the side of the bag open and peel back the plastic. Salt the chicken on both sides.

Heat skillet on high; drizzle oil in pan.  Place the chicken in the pan and cook until browned.  Flip. 

When both sides are browned, squeeze lime onto chicken - both sides - and sprinkle with cilantro.  Cook a bit more, then serve.
