Cilantro Lime Chicken

My new cooking goal has been to create food that is freezer friendly for convenience! This cilantro lime chicken is inexpensive, easy, and take very little time to prepare or cook! It is really yummy paired with some fresh sliced avocado, piled on top of some black beans, or with some steamed veggies on the side. 



INGREDIENTS

2 pounds of boneless chicken tenderloins or thin breasts
2 medium limes - juiced
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS

Mix all ingredients besides the chicken together evenly in a bowl. Place chicken in a container and coat evenly with the cilantro marinade. Cover and allow to sit in the refrigerator for at least one hour, but for best results - overnight. 

**Freezer Friendly**

Follow all directions above, except put chicken and marinade in your freezer container and stick in the freezer.
