Cilantro Lime Chicken

Ingredients:

• 1 pound of chicken breast
• Olive oil
• Bunch of Cilantro (Store sells it in a bunch), chopped roughly
• pinch of salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1 Tablespoon lime juice

Directions:

1. In a food processor or blender combine: cilantro, salt, pepper, garlic, red pepper flakes, lime juice, and about 1/3 cup olive oil. Mixture should almost look like pesto, you may need to add more olive oil.
2. Place cilantro mixture in a large ziplock bag. Place chicken breast in ziplock and marinate for atleast an hour.
3. Cook anyway you'd like. I choose to bake on a rack in the oven. 
4. Serve with rice.

*I put some of the marinade on the chicken while cooking it. Some of the oil dripped onto the sheet pan below the rack and burned quickly, causing the kitchen to get a bit smokey. I would recommend not putting the marinate on the chicken when placing in the oven or just grill it outside.
