Hey it’s recipe time… Chicken is a great way to incorporate protein in your daily diet; a 6 oz. chicken breast has about 32 grams of protein. However I sometimes get tired of plain old chicken, if you’re like me sometimes you need a little variety. Hopefully this marinated chicken breast will spice-up the chicken breast in your life!  This recipe is really easy to follow, try it and let me know how it tastes.

6oz chicken breast, trimmed and ready to cook

1 tsp. chili paste

2 tbsp. fresh lime juice

½ tsp. olive oil

1 clove garlic

1 tbsp. cilantro

1 pinch black pepper

• Zest lime and place into blender. Add garlic, cilantro, olive oil and chili paste, blend until smooth adding just enough water to help puree
• Make slits in chicken breast to allow marinade to permeate, and pour over breast.
• Marinate for ½ hour minimum, grill or roast in 400 degree pre-heated oven for 10 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.

Slice and serve
