Delicious Tomatillo Chicken Breasts Recipe

Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 8 tomatillos, husked and chopped
• 1 onion, diced
• 3 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• Juice of 1 lime
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1. In a blender, combine the tomatillos, onion, garlic, jalapeno pepper, cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth.
2. Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the tomatillo sauce over them. Make sure the chicken is fully coated. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess sauce to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
4. Grill the chicken breasts for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts.
5. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
6. Serve the tomatillo chicken breasts with your choice of side dishes and garnish with additional fresh cilantro, if desired.
