Some of the reviews said this recipe needed a little more flavor, so I added the zest of half a lime.
Turned out to be a good decision and I might even use a little more next time.

Earl says he has always liked cilantro because it's so good with chicken...
Um, Hate to break it to him but...

We adore cilantro at our house and this recipe looks delicious. We grow it but in summer it goes to seed quickly. Now I see your mustard dill cucumber salad recipe and will look at that one.

Look at that cutie pie Earl enjoying time in your pot of cilantro!! I hope he's not hiding because you mentioned "pork loin"!! The chicken sounds dee-lish and I love the addition of lime zest. I'll be making this soon...even have the limes in the fridge. Thanks, Lynn.
ReplyDeleteWe grill chicken quite often and I think squeezing some lime juice over the cooked meat is fabulous! Now I need to use the zest! What a great idea! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI am not a cilantro fan, but this recipe sounds good so I am going to give it a try, the lime really appeals to me as well as the simple grilled chicken, thanks

I'm one of those people who loves cilantro, especially when it's on chicken skewers. It doesn't look like Earl is hiding out in a very safe place.
